1 Salary and full year equivalent (FYE) are presented to the nearest £1,000. FYE is shown in brackets. Benefits in kind are presented to the nearest £100, pension benefits and total remuneration to the nearest £1,000. 2 The value of pension benefits accrued during the year is calculated as (the real increase in pension multiplied by 20) less (the contributions made by the individual). The real increases exclude increases due to inflation or any increase or decreases due to a transfer of pension rights.

 Reporting bodies are required to disclose the relationship between the remuneration of the highest-paid director in their organisation and the median remuneration of the organisation's workforce. 

The banded remuneration of the highest-paid Executive Director in The National Archives in the financial year 2018-19 was £120k-£125k (2017-18: £120k-£125k). This was 4.0 times the median remuneration of the workforce, which was £30,216. The small increase in the median from the previous year is due to a decrease in staff numbers combined with an increase in lower graded staff undertaking apprenticeships, offset by new posts in the digital directorate commanding higher salaries than the average. In both 2018-19 and 2017-18, no employees received remuneration in excess of the highest-paid director. Remuneration ranged from £16,000-£125,000 (2017-18: £18,000-£125,000). 

 
Total remuneration includes salary, non-consolidated performance-related pay and benefits-in-kind (travel and subsistence). It does not include severance payments, employer pension contributions and the cash equivalent transfer of pensions.
