Living Wage Foundation New Rates Webinar

The Living Wage Foundation has confirmed that the new Living Wage rates for 2025-2026 will be announced this year on Wednesday 22 October 2025.

Accredited Living Wage Employers will get an email that morning announcing the new Living Wage rates. The Foundation will also be holding a webinar on Thursday 25 September 2025, 1pm – 2pm, for those keen to get a sense of the likely trajectory of the rates before the official announcement, in order to plan ahead.

Attendees will hear from Katherine Chapman, Director of the Living Wage Foundation, and Nye Cominetti, Principal Economist at the Resolution Foundation, who will provide a more definite update on the trajectory of the 2025-26 Real Living Wage rates, following the September meeting of the Living Wage Commission.

Katherine and Nye will go into greater detail about the specific pressures influencing the trajectory of the 2025-26 Real Living Wage rates, as well as the general direction of the Real Living Wage methodology in the years ahead.

This is the second and final webinar in the Foundation’s 2025 Rates Series, and will be recorded.
