The Labour Party government implemented a 4.1% increase, raising the NLW to £12.71 per hour for eligible workers aged 21 and above. For full-time workers earning the National Living Wage, this increase translates to an additional £900 annually. Meanwhile, younger workers aged 18 to 20 on the National Minimum Wage (NMW) will benefit even more, with a £1,500 yearly pay boost.
