The typical elementary administration occupations n.e.c. in the UK earns a median salary of £23,005 in 2025/26. These figures come from the ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), so they reflect actual reported pay rather than self-reported estimates or job-advert ranges.
The middle half of elementary administration occupations n.e.c. earnings fall between £13,309 and £27,679 a year. That is a wide range, a sign that pay climbs steeply with experience, specialism and employer, so the median is a starting point rather than a ceiling.
The mean (average) salary is lower, at £21,226, which is unusual: it points to a cluster of lower-paid roles dragging the average down, so the median better reflects typical pay.
