Frequently Asked Questions

1

What does the IntaPeople 2026 guide say a graduate software engineer earns?

The guide reports one range per role rather than a graduate line. For Software Engineer it gives £37K to £53K, so the lower end, £37K, is the closest guide figure for a graduate or someone with up to two years' experience. Our graduate tech salaries guide breaks entry-level pay down by role and employer type.

2

Is this IntaPeople's official salary data?

The figures reported above come from IntaPeople's own published United Kingdom salary guide (2026). This page is not produced, endorsed, or reviewed by IntaPeople, it's an independent comparison built by PayMetric Labs, showing IntaPeople's reported figures alongside our own blended United Kingdom benchmarks, which draw on IntaPeople's guide as one of several contributing sources.

3

How is the "variance" figure calculated?

For each role, we compare IntaPeople's reported typical salary to PayMetric Labs' blended national median for that same role in the United Kingdom. A positive variance means IntaPeople reports higher than the blended market median; a negative variance means lower. It isn't a judgement on which figure is "right", different agencies see different segments of the market depending on their client base and specialisms.

4

Why might my actual offer differ from either figure?

Both figures are aggregate benchmarks, not a quote for any specific role. Company size, sector, location within the United Kingdom, and individual experience all move real offers away from any published median. Use the linked role pages for a fuller breakdown by seniority and location.

5

How do I work out what a IntaPeople-reported salary is worth after tax?

Every figure on this page is gross. To see what a role in IntaPeople's guide actually pays after tax in the United Kingdom, open the relevant role page above and use the take-home pay calculator, which breaks the figure down band by band using current 2026 rates.

6

Does IntaPeople's Ireland salary guide apply to Dublin?

Use it as a national benchmark rather than a guaranteed Dublin offer. Dublin hiring can differ by employer, work arrangement, specialist skill, and seniority. Open the role page for the city and seniority context behind the published range before using it in a negotiation.

7

Can I compare IntaPeople with other Ireland salary guides?

Yes. Compare like-for-like roles and years, then use the blended PayMetric Labs median as a separate reference point. A difference between guides is not automatically an error: recruitment firms can see different employer segments, locations, and candidate seniority mixes.
