Band 9 typically covers directors, chief scientists, chief AHPs and very senior managers. Full-time basic pay runs from £112,782 at entry to £129,783 at the top of the band for 2026/27. On top of basic pay, London staff receive a High Cost Area Supplement, and anyone working nights, weekends or bank holidays earns Section 2 unsocial-hours enhancements.
Three deductions come off: income tax, National Insurance, and your NHS pension contribution — which for a Band 9 on entry pay is the 12.5% tier, not the 5% auto-enrolment rate generic calculators assume. That is why our monthly take-home estimate (£5,626 at entry) is more accurate than tools that under-count the pension.
