Software Developer salary in East of England

£52,500 – £85,000 (indicative · midpoint £67,500)

How this figure was built. Based on 13 live advertised salaries for this role and region. That is below the 20 we require before publishing 25th/75th percentiles, so this cell shows a median only.

Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Stack, seniority and sector move pay more than location: fintech, defence and consultancy pay above e-commerce and the public sector, and senior and lead titles sit well above the top of these bands. Contract day rates (£400–£700) run in parallel to the permanent market.
