How to convert a salary to an hourly rate

The maths is simple: divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. Your yearly hours are your hours per week times the weeks you work per year. Take £45,000 a year at 37.5 hours a week over 52 weeks. That is 1,950 hours in the year, so 45,000 divided by 1,950 is about £23.08 an hour. At 40 hours a week the same salary works out to £21.63 an hour, because you are spreading the same pay over more hours. This calculator handles annual, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly in one place, so you can start from whichever figure you know.

Convert an hourly rate to a salary

It works both ways. Set the calculator to know your pay per hour and it multiplies out to a full salary. £15 an hour at 40 hours a week over 52 weeks is 15 times 2,080, or £31,200 a year before tax. This is handy when a job is advertised by the hour and you want to compare it with a salaried role, or when you are quoting a day rate and need the annual equivalent.

Gross pay, not take-home

Every figure here is gross, meaning before income tax, National Insurance, pension or any other deduction. It shows what your salary is worth per hour on paper, which is the right number for comparing offers or checking a rate. To see what reaches your account, run the result through a take-home pay calculator for your country. Pick your currency in the calculator above and, where we have a matching tool, a link to the right take-home calculator appears with your result.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert my salary to an hourly rate?
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. That is your hours per week times the weeks you work per year. For example, £45,000 a year at 37.5 hours a week over 52 weeks is 45,000 divided by 1,950 hours, which is about £23.08 an hour before tax.
How many working hours are in a year?
Multiply your hours per week by the weeks you work per year. A common full-time pattern is 37.5 hours over 52 weeks, which is 1,950 hours. At 40 hours over 52 weeks it is 2,080 hours. If you count paid time off separately, use fewer weeks to get your true rate on hours actually worked.
Is this hourly rate before or after tax?
It is gross pay, before any income tax, National Insurance, pension or other deductions. It shows what your salary works out to per hour on paper. For your take-home rate after tax, use a take-home pay calculator for your country.
How do I turn an hourly rate into an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the weeks you work per year. For example, £15 an hour at 40 hours a week over 52 weeks is 15 times 2,080, which is £31,200 a year before tax. Set the calculator to know your pay per hour to work it out this way.
How do I calculate my hourly rate from a monthly or weekly wage?
For a monthly figure, multiply by 12 to get the annual salary, then divide by your yearly hours. For a weekly figure, multiply by the weeks you work per year, then divide by yearly hours. This calculator does both automatically once you pick which figure you know.
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer to account for holiday?
Use 52 weeks for a straight paper conversion, since paid holiday is still part of your salary. To see your effective rate on the hours you actually turn up for, drop to roughly 46 or 47 weeks after annual leave and public holidays. Both are useful, so the calculator lets you set it.
