Canada vs United Kingdom: which pays more?
The median for Canada is $105,506 per year (typically $64,373–$161,056), versus $56,983 for United Kingdom ($38,625–$108,752). That puts Canada about 85% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Canada and United Kingdom are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
