Sponsoring a new Skilled Worker under SOC code 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors)? The standard minimum is £87,300 a year on a 37.5-hour week. New entrants and some PhD holders can be paid less, as the table shows.
| Going rate | £87,300 a year (£44.77 an hour) |

| Relevant PhD (other subject) | £78,600 |
| Senior or Specialist Worker transfer | £60,000 |

£87,300 is this job's going rate, the official yearly pay the Home Office sets for it, and it is higher than the £41,700 most jobs need. Other weekly hours change the figure in proportion, up to 48 hours.
This job has separate pay rules under two other visas. A Senior or Specialist Worker visa to move someone over from your overseas branch needs a minimum of £60,000 a year. For a Scale-up Worker, the yearly pay must be at least £60,000.
How this affects your offer
You can pay as little as £61,100 if your new hire is under 26, is switching from a UK Student visa or a Graduate visa, or is training for a professional qualification. On these terms, their total stay can't run past 4 years.
There's also the immigration skills charge to pay per worker in this code: £480 a year if you're a small business or charity, and £1,320 if you're medium or large.
