Hourly to Salary Converter UK
Our hourly to salary converter helps you work out what an hourly wage equals as an annual salary, monthly pay and weekly pay. You can also use it in reverse as a salary to hourly calculator to estimate your hourly rate from an annual salary figure.
By default, the calculator assumes 37.5 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, but you can change both values to suit your own working pattern. This makes it useful for full-time, part-time, shift-based or flexible working arrangements.
What this calculator shows
Depending on which direction you choose, this tool can show:
- Annual salary from an hourly rate
- Monthly pay based on the annual figure
- Weekly pay based on your hours and weeks worked
- Hourly rate from an annual salary
- Total annual hours worked
How to use the hourly to salary converter
Choose whether you want to convert hourly to salary or salary to hourly. Then enter your pay figure and, if needed, adjust the weekly hours and weeks worked per year. The calculator updates your results instantly.
For example, if you are comparing job offers, checking whether an hourly contract is roughly equivalent to a salaried role, or estimating what your annual income would be from a given hourly rate, this tool gives you a quick answer.
Why hours and weeks matter
The same hourly rate can produce a very different annual salary depending on how many hours you work each week and how many weeks you work in a year. Likewise, the same annual salary can imply a different hourly rate if your contracted hours differ from a standard 37.5-hour week.
That is why this calculator lets you change both assumptions rather than locking you into one standard pattern.
Important note
This calculator is for illustration only. It shows gross pay before tax and does not account for income tax, National Insurance, pension deductions, unpaid leave, overtime premiums, bonuses or salary sacrifice. Actual take-home pay will usually be lower than the gross figures shown.
