Rate of record

About this site

An independent dated rate-of-record for the UK National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage. Built and maintained by Digital Signet.

Why this exists

GOV.UK publishes the statutory rates correctly but with no decision support. The Low Pay Commission publishes the policy reasoning correctly but without the practical calculator tools. The buyer - a payroll lead on 1 April or a worker checking a payslip after a birthday - wants both, plus a dated freshness stamp they can trust.

Editorial independence

No affiliate links, no sponsored content, no paid placements. The site is funded by Digital Signet's wider portfolio. There is no upsell, no email gate, no cookie tracking beyond the basics.

Verifier

Editor and named verifier: Oliver Wakefield-Smith, founder of Digital Signet. The VerifiedStamp at the top of every page carries the date and signer.
