Gender Pay Gap

The gender pay gap measures the difference in earnings between all male and femaleemployees, regardless of their roles or seniority. It is different to equal pay, which concerns the pay men and women receive for carrying out the same or similar roles. The way the government have asked employers to report means that even when pay is equal, there may still be a gender pay gap.

The gender pay gap is calculated as the difference between men’s and women’s hourly earnings, as a percentage of men’s earnings.
