New Real Living Wage rates have been announced today, which means almost 400,000 workers will get a pay boost.
The hourly rates are going up by £1, from £9.90 to £10.90 across the UK, and by 90p, from £11.05 to £11.95 in London. New rates are usually announced in November but were increased earlier than usual due to the cost of living crisis.
The Real Living Wage is currently paid by more than 11,000 employers and is accredited by the Living Wage Foundation. It is based on what a full-time worker and their family needs to make ends meet, including costs of food, clothing and household bills.
