The National Minimum Wage has officially gone up today, 1 April 2026!

New hourly rates from today:
• 21 and over: £12.71
• 18–20 year olds: £10.85
• 16–17 year olds & apprentices: £8.00

This is a welcome boost for so many people working hard every day.

On the flip side, it will increase employment costs for businesses at a time when many employers are already struggling with rising expenses and tough economic conditions.

If you’re an employee, check your latest payslip to make sure it’s been updated. If you’re a business owner or manager, double-check your payroll so everyone gets what they’re owed – and stay compliant!

What do you think about the rise? Has it helped you, or is it adding pressure where you work? Drop a comment below 👇
