The tables are presented in cash terms of income before tax for contractor GPs (partners) and salaried GPs under a General Medical Services (GMS) or Personal Medical Services (PMS) contract and exclude expenses. This is taxable income before pension contributions are deducted, made up of gross earnings less total expenses, also known as net income. |
The data covers income from both NHS and private sources where a GP has at least some NHS income. Figures are rounded to the nearest £100.
The median earnings gross income and expenses data is not held, only the income before tax. |
Data is for GPs under a GMS or PMS contract only
