Footnotes
- All populations are rounded to the nearest 5 full-person equivalent (FPE) individuals
- Earnings figures are rounded to the nearest £100
- The adjustment for inflation used the 2014/15 tax year as a base year, hence real earnings in this year are presented as equal to nominal earnings. For 2015/16 to 2020/21 nominal earnings were adjusted using Consumer Price Index (CPIH) inflation rates at the end of each tax year relative to the end of the previous tax year.
- c = data has been supressed due to small numbers. z = there is no result (N/A)
- In the 2020/21 tax year, 1 YAG (one year after graduation) relates to those who graduated in the 2018/19 academic year, 3 YAG to graduates in 2016/17, 5 YAG to graduates in 2014/15 and 10 YAG to graduates in 2009/10.
