Revealed: Sadiq Khan now earns more than Keir Starmer as London mayor's pay rises to 170,000
"This includes 241 people who work in strategy and communications, 357 in good growth and 254 in housing and land. As of March 31, the average City Hall salary was 62,537 but 238 people earned 80,000 or more of which 68 earned 100,000 or more. Some 50 people work in the mayor's office where two-thirds of aides earn at least 80,000 and about 20 people take home six-figure salaries."
"Sir Sadiq Khan's salary has increased to more than 170,000 which appears to have made him the best-paid politician in the country. The London mayor has accepted a 5,281 pay rise meaning his annual salary has increased from 165,001 to 170,282, The Standard can reveal. This is thought to be almost 1,000 higher than the Prime Minister's current salary. However, Sir Keir would earn more than the mayor if he claimed his full ministerial allowance of 80,807."
Sadiq Khan's annual mayoral salary increased by £5,281, rising from £165,001 to £170,282, a 3.2% uplift linked to the local government settlement and independent panel recommendations. The new pay is about £1,000 higher than the Prime Minister's salary, though Keir Starmer would out-earn the mayor if he claimed a full ministerial allowance of £80,807. City Hall headcount rose nine percent in the year to a record 1,615, including 90 agency staff and 101 London Assembly employees. The average City Hall salary is £62,537; 238 staff earn £80,000-plus, 68 earn £100,000-plus, and around 20 mayoral aides take six-figure pay.
