Minimum wage: Who is getting a pay rise and how much is it?

Boost to Low-Income Workers as Minimum Wage Hikes Take Effect. In a significant move to address income inequality, the UK government has announced increases to the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage, set to benefit a staggering 2.7 million workers from April. The wage hikes, which are expected to be felt across various industries, aim to provide a much-needed pay boost to low-income earners, with some workers set to see their earnings rise by as much as £1,300 per year. As the cost of living continues to soar, the increase in the minimum wage is likely to be a welcome relief for many struggling to make ends meet.

Increases in the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage mean 2.7 million workers will be paid more from April.
