AAT salaries are on the up

AAT student salaries have increased by 11% between 2023 and 2025, according to the latest AAT salary survey.

MAATs reported a 9% salary increase, while FMAATs saw a 14% rise over the past two years.

That means the medium salary for a Level 2 AAT now stands at £27,000. For Level 3 the average is £27,331, and for Level 4 it is £28,750.

The survey found 67% of students saw an increase in salary in the last year, which is down on the 74% in 2023 (the last time the survey took place).

Commenting on the research, Sarah Beale, AAT CEO, said: “This is a jobs market where resilience is no longer optional. The buoyancy of 2023 feels like a distant memory, and young people are bearing the brunt. 

“But even in this climate, AAT members aren’t standing still. Salaries are continuing to rise across all levels – and crucially, they’re outpacing the wider sector. That sends a clear message: AAT skills are in demand, and they deliver real earning power.”
