About this calculator

This calculator compares a salary against the Skilled Worker thresholds published in the 2025.07.22 Immigration Rules. The result is a numerical comparison only. It does not determine whether a worker meets the wider Skilled Worker requirements, and it is not immigration or legal advice. Salary thresholds and going rates are updated by the Home Office and may have changed since this calculator was last refreshed.
