Over one million Brits will be getting a pay rise next week and see more money going into their bank

Next week over a million Brits are in line for a pay rise as the National Living Wage is set to climb and put more money in the pockets of working people.

Last year the new government said it accepted the recommendations from the Low Pay Commission and would be increasing the living wage.

The living wage is going to increase by 6.7 percent from £11.44 an hour to £12.21 an hour, so if you're on the living wage you'll be getting 77p more for each hour you work.

According to the government this means Brits earning the living wage and working a full time job will take home £1,400 more in pay a year due to the wage increase.

The changes kick in from 1 April, otherwise known as next Tuesday, so make sure you're paying attention to your payslips and being certain that your employer has kept up with things.

1 April will also see even bigger pay rises for other tiers of the National Living Wage, as the top rate is for those aged 21 and above, along with pay for apprentices.

18 to 20-year-olds on the living wage will be getting a 16.3 percent increase in pay as their rate has jumped from £8.60 an hour to a crisp £10.

The under 18s and apprentices will see the biggest pay increase next week, as now they'll go from an hourly rate of £6.40 to £7.55.

Apprentices who are aged 19 or over and have completed the first year of their apprenticeship then get shifted up to their age appropriate level of pay.

The 'accommodation offset', a daily deduction from wages to pay for accommodation costs, has risen from £9.99 to £10.66 a day.

The age at which Brits have been paid the living wage has lowered in recent years, in 2021 it dropped from 25 to 23 and last year it dropped from 23 to 21.

The government is looking at further reducing it from 21 to 18 in the future, increasing the number of Brits who would be paid the top rate of living wage.

While the changes kick in on 1 April you may want to be vigilant that your employer hasn't failed to increase your pay as they should.

Earlier this year Martin Lewis advised Brits on the National Living Wage to check that their earnings weren't falling below the legal limit whether that be because they hadn't kept up with wage rises or had applied other expenses to your pay slip which dragged it down.

For now, enjoy the pay rise.
