How to use the salary calculator

  1. Enter your pay and choose whether it is per hour, day, week, month or year.
  2. Set your hours per week and days per week (40 and 5 for a typical full-time job).
  3. Leave paid weeks per year at 52 if you are paid for holidays. If you take unpaid weeks off, lower it.

All results are gross pay – before income tax, social security and other deductions.

The formulas

Yearly = Hourly × hours per week × paid weeks

Hourly = Yearly ÷ paid weeks ÷ hours per week

Monthly = Yearly ÷ 12

A full-time year of 40 hours × 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, which is why recruiters often multiply an hourly rate by about 2,000 to get a rough annual figure.

Worked examples

$25 an hour to a yearly salary

$25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year. That is $4,333.33 a month, $1,000 a week and $200 a day.

$60,000 a year to an hourly rate

$60,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 = $28.85 an hour.

A UK salary on 37.5 hours a week

Many UK contracts are 37.5 hours a week. £35,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 37.5 = £17.95 an hour.

Why a month is not four weeks

A year has 52 weeks, so an average month has 52 ÷ 12 ≈ 4.33 weeks. If you multiply a weekly wage by 4 you underestimate your monthly pay by about 8%. This calculator always divides the yearly amount by 12.

Freelancers and contractors should remember that they are not paid for holidays, sick days or time spent finding work. To match an employee’s salary, a day rate usually needs to be noticeably higher than salary ÷ working days.

Frequently asked questions

How many working hours are in a year?
With a 40-hour week and 52 paid weeks, there are 2,080 paid hours a year. With a 37.5-hour week it is 1,950 hours.
How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly wage?
Divide the salary by the number of paid weeks (usually 52) and then by your weekly hours. For example $50,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 = $24.04 an hour.
Is this my take-home pay?
No. The calculator shows gross pay. Your take-home (net) pay is lower after income tax, social security or National Insurance, pension contributions and other deductions.
