Immigration advisers quote £2,000–£5,000 in legal fees for a sponsor licence application (DavidsonMorris, sponsor-licence fee guide 2026); the salary gate is one line inside that bill.
Buy the full version — $60It answers two questions in one screen. First, the lowest salary this particular job may legally be paid: the higher of your salary route floor and the occupation going rate pro-rated to the hours worked, counting at most 48 hours a week. Second, the money that leaves the company when you assign the certificate, and the total cost of the hire.
UK employers who already hold a sponsor licence and are about to sponsor someone: HR managers, in-house recruiters, practice managers and owner-directors of small firms. It is written for the person who has to put a number in the hiring budget and defend it, not for the visa applicant.
The fees live on four separate pages, and the Skilled Worker cost page lists the visa fee and health surcharge without the certificate fee or the skills charge at all. None of those pages pro-rate an occupation going rate to part-time hours, and that pro-rating is where sponsorship decisions actually fail.
Every calculation is free, with no key and no cap: the salary floor, the gap, the skills charge, the visa fee, the surcharge and the all-in total. The key unlocks a different axis, not a better answer: exporting the working to .csv and scheduling the reminders before your acting date.
Immigration advisers publish fixed fees of roughly two to five thousand pounds for a sponsor licence application, and per-hire advice is billed on top. A single wrong salary line is more expensive still: the certificate fee and the skills charge are spent at assignment, before a caseworker reads the offer.
