How are they funded?
Levy contribution
(Payroll bill over £3m)
The Apprenticeship Levy is a payroll tax on large employers, which is used to fund apprenticeship training. Employers with an annual wage bill over £3 million contribute 0.5% of their payroll into the levy pot. If you are one of these businesses, you can then use these funds, plus a government top-up, to cover the costs of training apprentices within your organisation.
Co-investment
(Payroll bill under £3m)
Co-investment refers to the funding arrangement for smaller employers who are not subject to the Apprenticeship Levy. These employers share the cost of apprenticeship training with the UK government. The employer pays 5% of the training costs, and the government covers the remaining 95%. This co-investment model enables a wider range of businesses to access apprenticeship programs.
