These figures are sourced from the Cabinet Office SCS database. Grade is as at the time of retirement. Figures are not released where less than 5 staff are counted (indicated by “-”), rounded to the nearest £100, and only include those with a known salary in both years. Salary data is not available for all prior years, and 19% of retirees did not have a recorded salary over this period.
