Understanding Information technology professionals n.e.c. pay in the UK
The typical information technology professionals n.e.c. in the UK earns a median salary of £50,459 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 information technology professionals n.e.c. earnings fall between £35,789 and £69,152 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 higher, at £55,127. When the mean sits above the median like this, a smaller group of high earners is pulling the average up, which is why the median is the better guide to what a typical information technology professionals n.e.c. actually takes home.
Employment patterns shape these numbers too: Around 18% of Information technology professionals n.e.c. are self-employed, well above most occupations, so the employee pay above will not capture earnings for those working for themselves.
