At a glance: SAP Business One salaries in 2026
A mid-level SAP Business One Functional Consultant in the UK earns £45,000–£60,000 in 2026, rising to £75,000–£95,000 at lead level. In the US, the same mid-level role pays $85,000–$115,000, with practice leads reaching $180,000–$260,000+.
Three forces are pushing rates up year-on-year: SAP HANA migration backlogs are creating a shortage of senior consultants; consolidation of the SAP partner channel is bidding up practice-lead packages; and the embedding of e-commerce, EDI, and Boyum B1UP into baseline B1 implementations means consultants who can integrate are now worth a 15–25% premium over functional-only counterparts.

What's moving SAP B1 salaries in 2026
HANA migrations are the dominant story. SAP is gradually retiring SQL-based deployments of B1, and the customer migration backlog at partners is enormous. Consultants who have led at least one HANA migration are now commanding 12–18% over their SQL-only peers at the same seniority.
The partner channel is consolidating. Practice-lead and head-of-ERP packages have inflated as acquirers compete for proven leadership.
E-commerce and integration skills are becoming baseline. A B1 consultant who can integrate with Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, or EDI partners (via Boyum, Magic xpi, or Skyvva) is worth materially more than a functional-only counterpart.
Remote work has stabilised at hybrid. Most B1 roles are now hybrid (2–3 days office) and salaries have normalised.
Certifications and skills that pay a premium
SAP Certified Implementation Consultant — SAP B1 Release 10 / HANA — the highest-leverage cert in 2026

SAP B1 + Beas Manufacturing — 10–15% premium for manufacturing-vertical specialists
