SQL developer salaries in Edinburgh
What SQL roles actually advertise in Edinburgh, measured from live vacancies on employer careers pages rather than survey responses.
These figures come from 5 vacancies that published a salary, out of 8 live SQL roles in Edinburgh. Every one was read from the employer's own careers page — this is what companies are advertising, not what candidates report earning.
Where a range is advertised we take the top of the range, so read the median as the ceiling a typical employer is willing to reach. Contract day rates are annualised at 230 working days a year.

How we measure this
We crawl UK employers' own careers pages, classify each vacancy against a published taxonomy, and read the salary exactly as the employer stated it. Nothing here is reposted from another job board, and nothing is modelled or estimated.
