Currently £17,000 - £26,000 for a Private soldier - rising with time served and qualifications.

Pay increases with Rank.

Traditionally British soldiers were paid "a shilling a day" - taking the Kings (Queen's) Shilling being an expression for joining up (they also received a signing on bonus). The "Shilling a Day" still pops up in popular culture.
