The Peterborough figure and the UK figure are two different samples of adverts, not an adjustment of one by the other. Neither accounts for the cost of living, and one large employer hiring can move a city on its own.

Advertised, not paid: these are the salaries employers stated in live job adverts. They are not a survey of what people are paid, and this site neither sets nor guarantees any rate.

Permanent and contract

Only adverts the feed marks as permanent or contract for Design Engineer roles in Peterborough, so the two samples do not add up to the headline figure.

Permanent, median advertised salaryNot enough adverts yet to publish a figure.

Contract, median advertised day rateNot enough adverts yet to publish a figure.

Day rates are converted at 230 working days a year and annual figures back the same way, so the two are the same number in different units. An equivalent is arithmetic, not an offer.

Month by month

One month of snapshots for Design Engineer roles in Peterborough so far, so nothing to compare it with yet.

The last snapshot of each month. A month with too few adverts stating pay is left out, never carried forward.
Month	Median advertised	Basis

A change between two months is a change in what is being advertised, a different mix of employers and levels, not a pay rise.

How the city figure is worked out

An advert counts towards Peterborough when its location resolves to Peterborough. An advert whose location cannot be resolved counts towards the UK figure only, and is never spread across nearby cities.

Adverts that state no pay (competitive, negotiable, depending on experience) are counted in the total and left out of every figure, which is why the share stating pay is printed beside the sample.

Nothing is estimated. Below 5 adverts stating pay this site publishes no figure and says how many it has. The full method.

Based on 7 adverts live on this board, 86% of which state pay. Updated 4 October 2026.
