Turn annual pay into an hourly rate using weekly hours and weeks per year.
Use the salary to hourly calculator
Enter your annual salary, weekly hours and paid weeks per year to estimate your gross hourly rate.
This uses annual salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year).
Formula
Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year)
Example
£30,000 over 37.5 hours for 52 weeks is about £15.38 per hour.

That depends on the salary figure you enter.
Turn the hourly estimate into a real pay check decision
The hourly number is an estimate built from salary, hours per week, and paid weeks. It is most useful for comparing offers and checking if a role feels fairly priced.
Quick example
A £35,000 salary spread over 37.5 hours per week and 52 paid weeks gives a different hourly estimate from the same salary over fewer paid weeks.
- Compare two job offers using the same weekly hours first.
- Use overtime and take-home calculators next for a fuller pay picture.
- Treat the result as gross unless you entered a net salary figure.
