Aldi has announced a pay rise for its store assistants, with wages increasing to at least £12.75 per hour from Saturday 1st March, ensuring it remains the ‘UK’s highest-paying supermarket.’

Those with longer service will see their pay increase further, reaching £13.66 per hour nationally.

The discount supermarket has also confirmed another pay rise for September 2025, increasing minimum hourly rates to £12.85.

Aldi says it remains the only supermarket to offer all employees paid breaks, a benefit worth approximately £1,370 a year.

Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “This latest increase recognises the important contribution that our colleagues make day in, day out and ensures they are rewarded fully for their contribution with industry-leading pay.”

The wage boost comes as Aldi continues to expand its UK presence.
