Compare gross pay across time periods

Enter pay as an annual, monthly, weekly, daily or hourly amount, then provide your typical hours per week, working days and paid weeks per year. The calculator converts the same gross pay into all five periods and shows total paid hours and average hours per working day.

Changing the input period preserves the equivalent annual amount, making it easier to compare a salary with a day rate, part-time hours or a contract quoted in another period.

How annual salary becomes an hourly rate

Annual gross pay is divided by paid hours per year. Paid hours equal weekly hours multiplied by paid weeks. Daily pay uses working days multiplied by paid weeks, while monthly pay uses twelve equal months.

£35,000 salary example

37.5 hours × 52 paid weeks = 1,950 paid hours per year.

£35,000 ÷ 1,950 = approximately £17.95 gross per hour.

Gross pay is not take-home pay

The conversion does not deduct income tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, student loans or other payroll items. It also assumes the entered weeks are paid and spreads monthly pay evenly across twelve months. Overtime premiums, unpaid breaks, bonuses and benefits should be considered separately when comparing jobs.

FAQs

Questions about the salary to hourly pay calculator

Does the hourly figure include tax?

No. All results are gross pay conversions before tax and payroll deductions.

Should I enter 52 paid weeks?

Use 52 when annual pay covers the full year, including paid leave. Use fewer weeks for work paid only during a shorter part of the year.

Are unpaid lunch breaks included?

Enter the hours you are actually paid for. Exclude an unpaid break if it is not part of paid working time.

Can I compare a day rate with a salary?

Yes. Choose daily pay and enter the expected paid days and weeks, then compare the annualised and hourly results.
