Calculating pay in previous years

Options
Hi, is there a way to calculate pay for previous years to check whether I’ve been paid above the minimum wage? I’ve seen on hmrc the current one but i need to backdate some years. Or, is there a fool proof way to do this please? Thank you.

    Yes. Your personal tax account will give you your earnings for the last five years: https://www.gov.uk/personal-tax-account
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    The P60 and the figures on the personal tax account will be for the taxable gross which for some people will be a different figure to their total gross. I do not know which figure is used for NMW.

    Are you asking what was the minimum wage in 2023-24 and earlier?

    If so did you not find National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rates - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) where you can scroll down to see rates from 2018-19.  Is that sufficiently far back?
