What it measures

This release measures UK average pay growth including bonuses, comparing the latest three-month average with a year earlier. It captures regular wages and bonus payments, which can make it more volatile than the measure excluding bonuses.

Why it moves the GBP

Stronger total pay growth can support sterling if it raises concern that wage inflation will keep the BoE cautious; weaker growth can weigh on the pound. The regular-pay measure is often cleaner, but the combined reading still matters for household incomes and inflation.
