How this hourly to salary calculator works

Choose whether you are paid hourly, daily, or weekly, then enter your rate and typical hours or days. The calculator converts your rate to annual gross pay using 52 weeks per year. For hourly and daily inputs it multiplies by your weekly hours or days before annualising.

Once your gross annual salary is calculated, the tool estimates your net pay using the official UK Income Tax bands and National Insurance thresholds for the selected tax year. This produces an annual and monthly net estimate you can use for budgeting or comparing offers.

What's included in the calculation

The calculator includes Income Tax and Class 1 National Insurance based on the standard tax code and the England/Wales/NI bands. This is enough to give a reliable baseline estimate for most PAYE employees.

It does not include overtime premiums, pension contributions, salary sacrifice, student loan repayments, or taxable benefits. If those apply, treat the net figure as an estimate and adjust your rate or hours.

Assumptions and rounding rules

The default assumptions are 52 weeks per year, 37.5 hours per week, and 5 days per week when those values are not specified. The standard tax code (1257L) is used unless you apply a different code in the Take-Home Pay calculator.

All calculations are rounded to the nearest penny, then displayed as rounded currency values. If your pay varies by season or includes unpaid leave, reduce your weekly hours or days for a more realistic annual estimate.

Worked examples

Example 1: £15.50 per hour for 37.5 hours a week gives an annual gross salary of about £30,225, with an estimated net pay around £25,282 per year (£2,107 per month).

Example 2: A £150 day rate for 4 days a week converts to £31,200 annual gross, with net pay roughly £25,984 per year (£2,165 per month).

Example 3: A £600 weekly rate also annualises to £31,200 gross and the same estimated net pay as Example 2.
