According to the UK government's official data, the prime minister is entitled to receive £83,837 (N150,867,028.94) annually.

UK prime minister's entitled salary
This represents the full salary that the occupant of the office is eligible to receive under existing arrangements.
The second figure tells a slightly different story. The UK prime minister's claimed salary, meaning the amount actually drawn from public funds, is £75,440 (N135,756,392.32) per year.
UK prime minister's claimed salary
That leaves a gap of £8,397 between what the prime minister is entitled to receive and what is actually claimed, indicating that the full entitlement is not being taken.
The figures offer a rare window into the formal pay structure at the very top of British government, showing that holding the country's highest political office does not necessarily mean collecting every pound available under the role's official pay scale.
