We said

Thank you for your request. 

Information on earnings deciles is published for the UK and countries of the UK in our Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) publication. 

You can find data on the distribution of earnings in our tables, accessible via the following link: Employee earnings in the UK 2022. 

Unfortunately, we do not hold information on the distribution of earnings data by weekly, fortnightly, four weekly and monthly pay periods. To provide this, we would need to use statistical expertise to manipulate raw data to create new information. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), public authorities are not obliged to create new information to answer requests.

However, we hope the publications provided will assist with your query. 

If you have queries about the data provided, please contact the Earnings team at earnings@ons.gov.uk who will be able to provide further advice.
