Skilled Worker Visa Salary Calculator by SOC Code

Our free calculator compares a proposed salary against the correct threshold for the SOC code, route, and any applicable discount (PhD, new entrant, ISL). It returns the effective minimum and the gap — so you know exactly how much headroom there is, or how much pay must increase to clear compliance.

What the calculator checks

• Route minimum — Skilled Worker, Scale-up, Health & Care
• SOC going rate (all 535 codes)
• Discount eligibility — PhD, PhD STEM, new entrant, ISL
• Hours adjustment — pro-rated against the standard 37.5h week

What it doesn't replace

Per-pay-period rolling-window checking (SW 14.3B) requires real payroll data over time. SMS System runs that continuously against your live payroll for every sponsored worker — the calculator gives you the point-in-time answer for a single role.
