To convert an hourly rate to an annual salary, multiply by your weekly hours and then by 52. The result is your gross annual earnings before tax and National Insurance.
The Formula
Annual salary = hourly rate × weekly hours × 52
Most UK office jobs use 37.5 hours per week. Many manual, retail, and hospitality roles use 40 hours per week. Check your contract for your actual contracted hours.
