The tech industry is booming.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re recently graduated, currently studying a computer science degree, or considering it during your final years at school, you\u2019ll probably assume that tech and IT is everywhere, but the numbers reveal even more\u2026<\/p>\n
IT and computer service job roles almost doubled, from 483,000 to 860,000 roles<\/a>, in the UK between 2011 and 2020.<\/p>\n Tech jobs now count for approximately 13% of all UK job vacancies<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nearly 3 million people<\/a> are now employed in IT and tech across the UK, as of 2021.<\/p>\n And we can all probably agree that these numbers will only continue to grow.<\/p>\n The average computer science job salary in the UK is currently \u00a346,250<\/strong> in 2021.<\/p>\n This average is generated via multiple sources and job board aggregators but anyone well-versed in the IT world will be well aware that you can find entry-level positions offering salaries of \u00a320,000, and also experienced senior management roles offering salaries of over \u00a3100,000 per annum, plus perks.<\/p>\n With that in mind, use the above figure purely as a guide.<\/p>\n There are so many factors at play when companies hire and lower salaries could be bumped up with various perks (e.g. stock options, health insurance, work\/life balance scheduled etc.) so don’t simply take the headline figure into consideration.<\/p>\n For graduates the story is slightly different and unless you\u2019re a lucky graduate (we\u2019ll cross our fingers for you!), the chances are you won\u2019t walk into your first job post-university and grab the highest average UK salary from the off.<\/p>\n As with every industry, real-world experience is highly valued. There are always exceptions, but without an incredible portfolio of extracurricular projects, it’s likely that you’ll have to earn your stripes for a number of years before making the big jump.<\/p>\n Not to worry though, as the average computer science graduate salary currently sits somewhere between \u00a327,500<\/a> and \u00a331,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n Moving back to the UK-wide average, if we take this average of \u00a346,250 per annum for a computer science job in the UK, this breaks down to a per month salary of approximately \u00a33,854.<\/p>\n Currently this will mean a take home salary of \u00a32,926 per month after taxes and national insurance have been paid.<\/p>\n UK computer science average salary breakdown:<\/p>\n Obviously this breakdown will be subject to change as taxes change in years to come.<\/p>\n We recently published a detailed breakdown of the most sought-after and financially-friendly job roles within the UK computer science industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n Every role is different and the same job title in two different companies won\u2019t mean the same salary. Likewise, you can expect to earn more in relation to your skills, experience, portfolio of previous projects, management capabilities and so on.<\/p>\n For the latest jobs roles check out our main listings here.
