Minimum wage for workers in England will rise from April 1.
Millions of people will see an increase to their wages next month, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced during the 2021 Budget.
Workers will receive a 2.2% increase which will see the National Living Wage rise to £8.91 an hour.
This is the equivalent of £345 extra per year for those working full-time.
In a new change, this means that those aged 23 and over will see their pay increase form £8.20 an hour to £8.91 next month.
Previously this highest National Living Wage was available to those aged 25 and over.
The National Minimum Wage - which applies to those aged 16 and over - will also rise from April and will see apprentices have to be paid at least £4.30 an hour.
The National Minimum Wage is the minimum pay per hour most workers are entitled to by law.
This rate depends predominately on a worker's age and if they are an apprentice.
From April 1, employers will legally have to pay workers at the following rates:
Aged 23 or over - £8.91 an hour
Aged 21-22 - £8.36 an hour
Aged 18-20 - £6.56 an hour
Aged 16-17 - £4.62 an hour
Apprentice - £4.30 an hour
Mr Sunak also said the £20 weekly increase for Universal Credit will continue for a further six months.
On apprenticeships, Mr Sunak said: "I'm doubling the incentive payments we give businesses to £3,000 – that’s for all new hires, of any age."
