Your gross-pay equivalents
Gross figures before tax, NI, pension and other deductions.
How to calculate yearly salary from an hourly rate
Multiply your hourly rate by weekly hours, then by the number of paid weeks in the year. The calculation produces a gross figure before tax, National Insurance, pension and student-loan deductions.
Formula: hourly rate × weekly hours × paid weeks = annual gross pay.
Do not assume every week is paid
An hourly contract can have different treatment for holiday, shutdown periods, school breaks, overtime and variable shifts. Use the paid-weeks field to model the arrangement rather than treating 52 weeks as a rule.
Next: estimate the net amount
Once you have an annual gross estimate, put it into the take-home pay calculator. If you already know a monthly offer, the monthly to hourly calculator can help compare it with an hourly role.
Hourly to salary questions
Does overtime count?
Enter the usual hourly rate and contracted hours first. Treat regular paid overtime as a separate scenario because it may not be guaranteed.
Can I use this for part-time work?
Yes. Enter the hours and paid weeks in the part-time contract.
Is monthly pay annual salary divided by 12?
This page shows the simple annual equivalent divided by 12. Actual payslips can vary by pay period and deductions.
