Aldi outpaces rivals with highest hourly pay rate for supermarket workers

Aldi has announced a pay increase for its store assistants, raising hourly rates to at least £12.71 nationally and £14.00 within the M25, cementing its position as the best-paying supermarket in the UK.

Pay for store assistants will rise further based on length of service, reaching £13.62 nationally and £14.23 within the M25. The changes will take effect from Saturday 1st March 2025.

The German discounter continues to stand out in the sector as the only supermarket to offer paid breaks, a benefit worth an estimated £1,370 per year for the average store colleague.

The new pay rates also exceed the Real Living Wage set by the Living Wage Foundation in October 2024.

Aldi UK and Ireland CEO Giles Hurley said: “Our colleagues are the best in the business and this latest pay rise reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring they remain the best paid.

“Every single Aldi colleague plays an absolutely vital role in delivering on our promise to bringing unbeatable Aldi prices to even more customers across the UK.”

This announcement follows Aldi being named the UK’s cheapest supermarket every month of 2024 by consumer champion Which?, continuing a streak of four consecutive years as the UK’s cheapest supermarket.

Aldi’s pay bump follows Sainsbury’s confirmation last week that it will split a 5% pay rise for its hourly-paid staff into two separate rises in March and August, which it said will “allow us to navigate a challenging cost environment”.
