What payrise are you getting / did you get this year ?

Given the real challenge of inflation and the pressure on living standards I’d be interested to get a broad brush of what people got this year or are planning to get ?

There’s another reason for this in that we’re due a payrise in July and it will be interesting to see how this lines up with others .

Thanks all

We got 6% - from April onwards.

NHS. 3% has been budgeted (and recommended by the government). Something like 12.5% or 5% above inflation has been requested by the unions. Will never get that. Doubt it will go as high as 5%.

Delayed again because for some reason the independent review panel now meet to decide months after the increase should have happened. We found out in July last year.
 
3.7% plus additional £1000 payment split in to 2 £500 lots in April and October paychecks.
 
3%, so a real terms pay cut. Wife and I are cutting back on things to try and ease the pain. I'm not complaining too much though as with a recession on the horizon, I'm thankful to still be working.

I was promoted in 2019 and that came with a 57% salary uplift so I count my blessings right now.

I'm lucky to work in a sought after profession where it is proving extremely hard to recruit people at the moment - we have been trying for almost a year - as a result of this and not wanting current staff to leave we've been given significant pay rises to match the current market. For us as a family it means we break even as my wife will shortly stop work to look after our imminent(ish) new arrival and was very welcome, and we know we are very lucky.

We would usually get 3-5%, maybe - and I don't think they were planning to do anything in response to the cost of living rises - purely done to retain staff due to recruitment issues
 
1.5% this year. Looking over the last 10 years I was already earning less in real terms since 2012. This year is going to make it even worse
 
After tax, it worked out at about an extra £50 per month, don't know off top of head what the exact % was.

What do you do out of interest?
 
13% plus bonus paid in September if personal targets are met.
My industry is really struggling for staff though. The headhunting is off the scale at the moment. I nearly left my current job a few weeks ago for a new challenge but was persuaded to stay with a pay rise and some other favourable working targets and conditions. My CV is still on Indeed and I'm contacted at least once a week with job offers.
 
<2%, but I've just got a promotion so it feels a bit cheeky getting anything else on top.
