Amazon workers are set to receive a welcome boost to their pay packets this autumn, as the online retail giant confirms an above-inflation wage rise across its UK operations.
From the end of September 2025, the company’s minimum starting wage will increase by 5.9% to £14.30 an hour, or 5.5% to £15.30 an hour depending on location.
That equates to a starting salary of at least £29,744 a year, rising to £31,824 in higher-paying areas.
The uplift will benefit tens of thousands of Amazon’s UK employees. Since 2022, the firm says its entry-level pay has climbed by 43%, cementing its position as one of the more competitive starting salaries in the retail and logistics sector.
John Boumphrey, Amazon’s UK country manager, said: “Our UK frontline employees are essential to our success, which is why we’re proud to increase our minimum starting wage to £29,744 a year.
“Beyond this competitive wage, we offer industry-leading benefits from day one and meaningful career development opportunities for all our employees.”
With Christmas around the corner – one of the busiest times of year for Amazon – the company is expected to step up recruitment, making this wage rise timely news for jobseekers looking for stable, well-paid work.
