What Paralegal pays in Scotland
Employee wage percentiles for the role. Contractors on Deftridge earn more than the median because they carry their own costs.
| Percentile | Per hour | 5 h a week, per month | Full time, per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10th | £11.05 | £240 | £23,000 |
| 25th | £12.36 | £270 | £25,700 |
| Median | £15.59 | £340 | £32,400 |
| 75th | £22.10 | £480 | £46,000 |
| 90th | £30.07 | £650 | £62,500 |

Deftridge rate by level
| Level | Per hour | Per month at 5 h/week |
|---|---|---|
| Specialist (country floor) | £23 | £500 |
| Senior (country floor) | £23 | £500 |
Where two levels show the same figure, the minimum rate for the country applies: Deftridge does not list work below it.
Against the United Kingdom rate
The typical rate in Scotland is £23 an hour against £23 nationally: in line with the national rate. Tasks that are remote pay the national rate for the company's location, so a remote task can pay more than a local one.
Working on the side in Scotland
What to check before you take a task next to a full-time job. Orientation only; none of it is legal or tax advice.
Before you start
- Read the outside-work and conflict-of-interest clauses in your employment contract.
- Check for a non-compete or a duty to disclose side income to your employer.
- As a contractor you are usually responsible for your own income tax and social contributions; a local accountant can size the amounts.
Your recruiter walks through these points with you before you accept a task. Read the guides
