THE CALCULATIONS EXPLAINED
The gender pay gap shows the difference between the average (mean or median) earnings of men and women. This is expressed as a percentage of men's earnings (ACAS - 2018).
This report calculates the following:
1. The mean gender pay gap
2. The median gender pay gap
3. The mean bonus gender pay gap
4. The median bonus gender pay gap
5. The proportion of males receiving a bonus payment
6. The proportion of females receiving a bonus payment
7. The proportion of males and females in each quartile pay band
How we calculate pay quartiles:
Rates of pay are placed into a list in order of
value and the list is divided into four equal
sections (quartiles).
Each quartile will contain the same number of
individuals. The regulations require us to report
how many men and women are in each pay
quartile expressed as a percentage within each
quartile.
