The question

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
Information on the number of civil servants by salary band is published annually as part of the Cabinet Office accredited official statistics publication, Civil Service Statistics. Information on the number of civil servants earning more than £150,000 and £200,000 as at 31 March 2025 can be found at Table 26 of the statistical tables published here:

Across the Civil Service, there are five earning over £250,000.
All outputs are rounded to the nearest five in accordance with the disclosure control protocols for these accredited official statistics.
