How to read these figures
The median is the middle salary: half of full-time employees living in Perth and Kinross earn more and half less. The figures show where people live, not where they work, so areas with many commuters can look different from the local jobs market. Figures for small areas are less precise and the 2025 estimates are provisional. See average UK salary and average salary by job.
