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. Solutions and technical architects sit in the lower half, enterprise and chief architects in the upper; TOGAF and cloud architecture certifications and a delivery record on large programmes set the premium. Contract day rates of £600–£900 are typical.
