One of the eligibility requirements under the Skilled Worker Visa route is that the role being recruited for pays the worker at least the relevant minimum salary threshold.
Under the current rules, the minimum threshold for most skilled workers is £38,700 per year, unless the ‘going rate’ for the particular role is higher. A lower threshold of £30,960 may be available if the applicant qualifies for tradeable points due to certain criteria being met.
Each job eligible for the Skilled Worker visa is assigned a going rate. You can search the list of eligible occupations below by their occupational code (SOC) using the CASCOT coding tool to identify the relevant going rate for the job and ensure the salary on offer is the same as or above the threshold.
The going rate is set based on a 37.5 hour working week. Depending on the visa applicant’s working hours, it may require a pro rata calculation to determine the correct level of salary to be recorded on the Certificate of Sponsorship and relied on for the visa application.

Need assistance?
We are specialists in UK business immigration, with substantial experience and recognised expertise in advising employers and workers on UK employment sponsorship, sponsor licence applications and management, and Skilled Worker visa applications.
Minimum salary calculations can quickly become complex, but it’s critical that the sponsor gets this right. Issues with pay and salary levels can result in a refused visa application, or a curtailed visa for an existing sponsored worker if the Home Office alleges the individual is being paid below the relevant minimum level.
For specialist immigration advice to support your talent mobility and business operations, contact us.
Skilled Worker Going Rate Salary FAQs
What is the 'going rate'?
Skilled worker visa roles must in most cases offer a salary that is the highest of either the stated ‘going rate’ for the job or the overall minimum salary for their circumstances.
What is an occupation code?
Each job that is eligible under the skilled worker visa is listed under the Immigration Rules and assigned an occupation code. This code is also used to assigned a going rate for the salary, which the role must pay to be eligible for sponsorship. If the salary does not meet the going rate, the visa application will be refused.
What is a new entrant?
New entrants can be paid 70% of the minimum salary threshold for the relevant occupation code to pass the salary requirement for the skilled worker visa. To qualify as a new entrant, you would need to be under the age of 26 on the date of the application with a job offer for a postdoctoral position in one of a number of occupational codes, or be working towards professional qualifications, chartered status, or registration.
