HOW MUCH IS AN APPRENTICE PAID?

The new National Minimum Wage (NMW) for an Apprentice is £2.60 per hour for those either under 19
years of age or over 19 and in the first year of their Apprenticeship. Many Apprentices actually earn more
than this.

If you reach 19 years old and have completed the first year of your Apprenticeship you will be paid at
least the full NMW rate for those aged 18 to 20, which is currently £4.98 per hour.

If you are already 19 and have completed the first year of your Apprenticeship you will be paid at least
the NMW rate for your age, which for those aged 21 and over is £6.08 per hour.

Full details on the National Minimum Wage can be found on the direct.gov website
