doctors above the existing 2023/24 pay scales which included an average pay rise of
8.8% :</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Average pay rise</p></td><td><p>Estimated cost
in 2024/25</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>5%</p></td><td><p>£400,000,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>10%</p></td><td><p>£900,000,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>15%</p></td><td><p>£1,300,000,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>20%</p></td><td><p>£1,700,000,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>25%</p></td><td><p>£2,100,000,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>30%</p></td><td><p>£2,600,000,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>35%</p></td><td><p>£3,000,000,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>These are estimates of the expected costs if the pay rise were given in 2024/25.
They cover recurrent increases to the substantive pay bill, including employer national
insurance and pension contributions, as well as knock-on impacts such as agency price
increases. The exact cost will vary depending on the workforce size and composition.</p><p>These
estimates do not take into account any wider considerations of the impact on wider
National Health Service and public sector pay.</p>
