The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 61 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the ONS ASHE median and percentiles of gross annual pay for SOC 1131 financial managers and directors (and the all-employee median for scale), loaded with employer NIC at the current rate above the secondary threshold and the auto-enrolment minimum, to give the true annual cost of a full-time FD; the fractional index's 1-day-a-week fee is set against it as a share", "embed": "
