Half of buyers in Scotland earn between £28,564 and £56,638. Earning above £56,638 puts you in the top quarter of the profession.

ONS suppresses the detailed spread for this occupation at regional level, so this range describes the wider “Sales, Marketing and Related Associate Professionals” group in Scotland.

ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, 2025 provisional

ONS publishes a sampling error of 15.7% for this figure and asks that anything above 10% is treated as imprecise — too few people in this region answered the survey for this occupation. The figure is shown because it is the one ONS published, but it is not firm enough to rank Scotland against anywhere else, so this page doesn't.

ONS doesn't measure “buyer” as its own category. These figures are for the wider group “Buyers and procurement officers”, which includes this role alongside others. ONS group combines buyers and procurement officers.
