NHS Bands Pay provides general information about NHS Agenda for Change pay bands, allowances and related terms and conditions. It is not financial advice, tax advice, or employment advice.

Pay figures change with each annual pay award and vary between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and between employers. While we verify every figure against official sources before publication (see our Editorial Policy), errors can occur and guidance can change. Always confirm salary, overtime, allowance and pension details with your employer's payroll or HR team, your contract, or your ESR record before making decisions.

If you spot an error in our figures, please contact us so we can check it against the official source.

We are an independent information website and are not affiliated with the National Health Service. Nothing on this site creates an employment or advisory relationship.
