How This Calculator Works
Enter your hourly wage and the number of hours you work per week. The calculator multiplies your hourly rate × hours per week × 52 weeks to get your annual gross income, then applies income tax and NI deductions.
You can also use this tool in reverse — select 'yearly' and enter your salary to see what that equals on an hourly basis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert my salary to an hourly rate?
Divide your annual salary by 52 (weeks), then divide by your weekly hours. For example, £26,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 37.5 = £13.33 per hour.
What is the UK minimum wage in 2026?
The National Living Wage (21+) and National Minimum Wage rates are updated each April. Select "hourly" as your frequency and enter your rate to see your estimated take-home pay.
Does the hourly calculator account for paid holidays?
This calculator multiplies your hourly rate by 52 weeks. If you want to exclude holiday weeks, reduce the hours-per-week figure to account for unpaid time off.
Is overtime included in the calculation?
You can add a bonus amount in the advanced options to account for regular overtime pay. For variable overtime, consider using an average.
