How the salary rules affect graduate roles
This tool uses occupation code 2433, actuaries, economists and statisticians, and the new-entrant salary rules as one check on whether a published graduate salary appears capable of meeting the Skilled Worker salary requirements. The code’s going rate is £55,100, and a new entrant can be paid 70% of it, £38,600, for at most 4 years.
Eligibility can depend on the exact role, occupation code, working hours, candidate circumstances and the current immigration rules. Treat this calculation as a screening check rather than a legal determination.

| Employer | Published salary | Gap to £38,600 benchmark |
|---|---|---|
| Lloyd's of London | £38,000 | -£600 |
| GAD | £37,768 | -£832 |
| Phoenix Group | £36,000 | -£2,600 |
| Hastings Direct | £36,000 | -£2,600 |
| Aviva | £34,200 | -£4,400 |
| Broadstone | £31,000 | -£7,600 |
| Glassdoor UK actuarial graduate average | £36,000 | -£2,600 |
This compares the published salary with the £38,600 benchmark used above. A negative gap means the published salary is below that benchmark: at the salary shown, the role would not meet the benchmark used in this comparison. It does not, by itself, determine whether a particular person or role could be sponsored, because the applicable occupation code, working pattern and individual circumstances can matter. The smallest gap in the table is Lloyd's of London’s, at £600.

Immigration Skills Charge rose about 32%
The employer must pay the charge and may lose its licence if it asks the worker to pay. Now £1,320 for the first 12 months plus £660 per additional 6 months for medium and large sponsors, or £480 plus £240 for small and charitable sponsors.
Graduate visa drops from 2 years to 18 months
Applications made on or before 31 December 2026 still get 2 years (3 years for PhD holders); applications on or after 1 January 2027 get 18 months. A Graduate visa cannot be extended, but you can switch to Skilled Worker, and the switch must clear £38,600 on code 2433, six months sooner than before.
How to read this tracker
This tracker combines two different sources: the Home Office sponsor register and employers’ own published early-careers information.
- On register
- means a relevant employer entity was found on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors. A licence proves one exists for some role; it does not mean actuarial graduates are sponsored.
- Sponsors
- means we found published evidence that sponsorship is available for the relevant graduate or actuarial route.
- Mixed
- means the employer sponsors some roles or candidates, but not necessarily every actuarial or early-careers programme.
- Does not sponsor
- means we found published evidence that the relevant graduate or actuarial route does not offer sponsorship.
- Unclear
- means we could not find a current published statement either way. It is not a no, so check the specific vacancy or ask the employer directly.
The evidence label tells you how strong the source is:
- Primary source: the employer's own published information.
- Secondary source: another source reproducing or quoting employer information.
- Inferred: a conclusion drawn from related published information.
- No published statement found: no current statement was located.
Visa rules, salary thresholds and employer policies change. The tracker is a point-in-time research tool, not immigration advice. Check the current vacancy, GOV.UK guidance and the employer before relying on a result.

If you need sponsorship
Check sponsorship before investing time in an application, because policies can differ between employers and even between programmes at the same employer. Always read the current vacancy as well as the employer's general policy.
