Teacher Pay and Teachers Pay Scale 

The UK teachers pay scale varies from teacher to teacher and an individual teacher pay rate depends on a combination of factors including:

• experience
• type of position (management/extra duties)
• area of placement (Central London v’s Rural)
• method of payment (PAYE/Limited Company)
• nature of placement (Long Term/ Daily/Contract)

An individual consultation is needed before we can finalise any rates of pay. ANZUK will always give you an accurate indication of the amount you can expect to earn when you arrive and begin working. Please remember that the agency teachers pay scale for day-to-day supply teaching and long-term supply teaching positions are inclusive of sick pay and holiday pay.

Please contact us should you require an individual pay rate assessment.

Tax (PAYE)

When you begin working in the UK you will be taxed the same as most resident workers. Your tax will be calculated on the gross income that you earn. Inland Revenue (The Taxation Department) will calculate a tax free threshold that is spread over 52 weeks. You are then taxed on the amount that you earn in income brackets above that. Most teachers in the UK pay a 22% tax rate over and above the tax free threshold. If you don’t have an National Insurance number (NI), you are charged an emergency tax rate of 22% for your entire wage. If any adjustment is made it will be paid automatically in your next pay cheque. Please contact us if you have any queries regarding Income Tax.
