Enter your role, seniority and sector. Get a live UK salary benchmark in seconds — so you walk into every negotiation knowing your number.

The UK salary benchmark tool from AuthBuild solves this in under 60 seconds. Enter your job title, seniority level and sector, and the tool surfaces a realistic market range drawn from live hiring data across technology, transformation, finance and operations roles.
Whether you're actively job searching, preparing for a review conversation, or evaluating a job offer, this tool gives you the data you need to negotiate from a position of knowledge — not guesswork.
Type your job title or select from a list of common technology, transformation and leadership roles.
