The real Living Wage is based on the cost of living and is voluntarily paid by more than 4,000 UK employers who believe a fair day's work deserves a fair day's pay.

In April 2016 the government introduced a higher minimum wage rate inspired by the Living Wage campaign - even calling it the 'national living wage'. However, the government's 'national living wage' is not calculated according to what employees and their families need to live. Instead, it is based on a target to reach 60% of median earnings by 2020. Under current forecasts, this means a rise to less than £9 per hour by 2020. The real Living Wage rates are higher because they are independently calculated based on what people need to get by.
