The gender pay gap is the difference between the average earnings of men and women across an organisation. The RCP is committed to monitoring its gender pay gap on an annual basis and delivering a plan to address this gap.

In 2020, the RCP’s mean gender pay gap was 11.8%, a decrease of 3% from 2019. At the time of reporting, on 5 April 2020, the RCP employed 404 staff with a female to male ratio of 69% to 31%. According to the Office for National Statistics, the gender pay gap among all UK employees was 15.5% in 2020, down from 17.4% in 2019.

The mean provides a good indication of the overall pay gap without distortion caused by unusually large or small pay rates, or ‘outliers’. In contrast, the median gender pay gap compares the midpoint pay rate for women compared with the midpoint pay rate for men. In 2020, the median gender pay gap was 16.7%, a decrease of 1.1% from 2019. Table 1 shows how these figures have changed over the past 4 years.
