Underwriter / Insurance hiring in Edinburgh: the numbers

  • 147 live underwriter / insurance roles in Edinburgh right now.

Counted from the adverts on this board, refreshed hourly. Advertised pay is what employers state, not a market survey.

Underwriter / Insurance salary in Scotland

£35,000 – £60,000 (indicative · midpoint £47,500)

How this figure was built. No live advertised salaries back this figure yet. It is the midpoint of our curated 2026 baseline range for the role and region.

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. Claims handlers sit below the band (£24,000–£35,000), underwriters and compliance officers within it, and actuaries and senior compliance leads above (£70,000–£120,000). Lloyd's and specialty lines pay most; personal lines least.
