Salary Calculator UK

This UK salary calculator converts a pay figure between annual, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly equivalents, using your own hours, days and working weeks.

Everything here is gross pay. It deliberately leaves Income Tax, National Insurance and other deductions to the take-home pay calculator, so the conversions stay simple and do not go out of date with the tax year.

Reading your result

The annual and monthly figures are shown first because they are what most people compare jobs on. Weekly, daily and hourly equivalents follow, and they all come from the same annual figure divided by the working pattern you entered.

If you switch on the pro-rata comparison, you also see the full-time equivalent salary: what the same rate of pay would be worth over full-time hours, and what share of full-time hours you actually work.

  • Change hours, days or weeks and every figure updates, because hourly and daily pay depend entirely on the pattern worked.
  • All amounts are gross, before any deduction.

How salary conversion works

The calculator first converts whatever you entered into an annual gross salary, then divides that annual figure back down into each period. Working from a single annual figure keeps every equivalent consistent with the others.

Monthly pay is always the annual salary divided by 12, because you are paid twelve times a year regardless of how long each month is. Weekly pay uses your working weeks per year, which is 52 for most salaried employees. Daily and hourly pay then come from the weekly figure.

  • Annual = monthly × 12, weekly × working weeks, daily × days × weeks, or hourly × hours × weeks.
  • Monthly = annual ÷ 12.
  • Weekly = annual ÷ working weeks a year.
  • Daily = weekly ÷ days a week. Hourly = weekly ÷ hours a week.

Worked examples

£35,000 a year on standard hours

A salaried employee on 37.5 hours a week, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year.

  1. Monthly pay is £35,000 ÷ 12.
  2. Weekly pay is £35,000 ÷ 52, and hourly is that weekly figure ÷ 37.5.

£2,916.67 a month, £673.08 a week, £134.62 a day and £17.95 an hour, all gross.

£20 an hour converted to a salary

An hourly worker on 37.5 hours a week for 52 weeks.

  1. £20 × 37.5 hours = £750 a week.
  2. £750 × 52 weeks = £39,000 a year.

An annual equivalent of £39,000, or £3,250 a month gross.

£150 a day contract rate

Someone paid daily, working 5 days a week for 52 weeks.

  1. £150 × 5 days = £750 a week.
  2. £750 × 52 weeks = £39,000 a year.

£39,000 a year gross — reduce the working weeks if you take unpaid time off.

Part-time on 22.5 hours a week

A part-time employee paid £21,000 against a 37.5-hour full-time week.

  1. 22.5 ÷ 37.5 = 60% of full-time hours.
  2. £21,000 ÷ 0.6 gives the full-time equivalent.

A full-time equivalent salary of £35,000 for a contracted £21,000.

Assumptions

The result depends on the following. If any of them do not match your situation, treat the figure as indicative only.

  • All figures are gross pay, before Income Tax, National Insurance, pension or any other deduction.
  • Monthly pay is the annual salary divided by 12.
  • Weekly, daily and hourly pay use the hours, days and working weeks you enter — the defaults are 37.5 hours, 5 days and 52 weeks.
  • Pay is assumed to be even across the year, with no overtime, bonus or unpaid leave unless you reduce the working weeks.

What this calculator does not do

  • It does not calculate Income Tax, National Insurance, pension or student loan deductions — those live in the take-home pay, Income Tax and National Insurance calculators.
  • It does not model overtime rates, shift premiums, holiday pay for irregular hours, or the National Minimum Wage rules that apply to some workers.
  • Hourly and daily equivalents are arithmetic conversions, not a statement of your contractual rate.

Methodology and official sources

The conversions are pure arithmetic performed in your browser, with no tax data involved, which is why this page does not carry a tax year. Amounts are held at full precision and rounded to the penny only when displayed.

The worked-example table is generated by the same engine that powers the calculator, so the published figures can never drift away from the tool. Unit tests cover every conversion direction, non-standard working patterns, the full-time equivalent calculation and invalid input.

How to use the salary calculator

Enter your pay and tell the calculator whether that figure is per year, month, week, day or hour. Then check the working pattern: hours a week, days a week and how many weeks a year you are paid for. The defaults suit a typical full-time salaried job.

If you work part-time, tick the pro-rata option and enter your contracted hours alongside the full-time hours for the role. You will see both your actual salary and the full-time equivalent, which is what job adverts usually quote.

Annual salary to monthly pay

Monthly pay is simply the annual salary divided by 12, so £30,000 a year is £2,500 a month and £45,000 is £3,750 a month, both gross. Because every month gets an equal share, a longer month does not increase your pay.

If you are paid four-weekly rather than monthly you receive 13 payments a year instead of 12, so each payment is smaller even though the annual total is the same.

Annual salary to weekly pay

Weekly pay divides the annual salary by the number of weeks you are paid for, normally 52. On £30,000 that is £576.92 a week. Term-time-only and seasonal contracts pay for fewer weeks, so reduce the working weeks figure to match your contract and the weekly, daily and hourly results all adjust.

Salary to hourly rate

To find an hourly rate, divide the weekly pay by your contracted hours. On £35,000 with a 37.5-hour week that is £673.08 ÷ 37.5, or about £17.95 an hour. A 40-hour week on the same salary gives about £16.83, which is why comparing two jobs on salary alone can mislead.

Part-time and pro-rata salary

Pro-rata means the pay is in proportion to the hours worked. A £35,000 full-time role worked at 22.5 hours instead of 37.5 pays 60% of the salary, so £21,000. Working the other way, dividing a part-time salary by the share of full-time hours gives the full-time equivalent, which is the figure to use when comparing against advertised roles.

Gross salary vs take-home pay

Gross salary is the headline figure in your contract. Take-home pay is what reaches your bank account after Income Tax, National Insurance and any pension or student loan deductions. The gap widens as pay rises, so two jobs £5,000 apart in gross terms are closer than they look in take-home terms.

This page stays deliberately on the gross side. For the after-deductions view, use the take-home pay calculator, and for the tax detail behind it, the Income Tax and National Insurance calculators.

Frequently asked questions

What is £30,000 a year per month?

£30,000 a year is £2,500 a month gross, before Income Tax, National Insurance and any other deductions. On 37.5 hours a week over 52 weeks it works out at £576.92 a week and about £15.38 an hour.

What is £35,000 a year per hour?

On a 37.5-hour week and 52 paid weeks, £35,000 a year is about £17.95 an hour gross. On a 40-hour week the same salary is closer to £16.83 an hour, so the working pattern matters.

How do I calculate my hourly rate from my salary?

Divide your annual salary by the number of weeks you are paid for, then divide that weekly figure by your contracted hours a week. The calculator does both steps for you once you enter your own hours and weeks.

How do I calculate a pro-rata salary?

Multiply the full-time salary by your contracted hours divided by the full-time hours. For example, 22.5 hours against a 37.5-hour week is 60%, so a £35,000 role pays £21,000 pro-rata. Tick the pro-rata option to see both figures side by side.

Is this salary before or after tax?

Before. Every figure here is gross pay. To see what you actually take home after Income Tax, National Insurance, pension and student loan deductions, use the take-home pay calculator.

Why can my payslip differ from this calculator?

Payslips include deductions, and they can also include overtime, bonuses, unpaid leave, salary changes part-way through a month or a different number of paid weeks than you assumed. This tool converts a steady rate of pay rather than reproducing a payslip.

How many working weeks should I use?

Most salaried employees are paid for all 52 weeks, including their paid holiday, so 52 is the right default. Use fewer weeks only if your contract genuinely pays you for fewer, such as some term-time-only roles.
