Gross pay only — before Income Tax, National Insurance, pension contributions or student loan repayments. For what you'd actually receive, use the UK take-home pay calculator. This is a general arithmetic estimate, not financial advice — check your contract for your actual paid hours, days and weeks.

How the conversion works

Every figure is first turned into an annual amount, then shared back out. Hourly pay × hours per week × weeks per year gives the annual figure; so does daily pay × days per week × weeks per year, weekly pay × weeks per year, or monthly pay × 12. The annual figure is then divided by 12 for a month, by weeks per year for a week, and by the total paid hours or days in the year for an hour or a day. The defaults are 37.5 hours over 5 days for 52 weeks — change them to match your own contract, because a 40-hour week or 48 paid weeks will move every number.

FAQ

How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by your paid hours per week, then by the number of weeks you're paid for each year. At £12.71 an hour on a 37.5-hour week for 52 weeks: £12.71 × 37.5 × 52 = £24,784.50 a year. Change the hours or weeks above if your contract is different.
Why isn't the monthly figure just the weekly figure × 4?
A year has 52 weeks but only 12 months, so a month averages 52 ÷ 12 ≈ 4.33 weeks. This calculator divides the annual figure by 12, so every month gets an equal share of the year; multiplying a week by 4 would understate a month by around 8%.
What is the UK minimum wage per hour?
From April 2026 the National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over is £12.71 an hour, and the National Minimum Wage is £10.85 for 18 to 20 year olds and £8 for under-18s and apprentices, according to gov.uk. The rates change on 1 April every year, so check the source below before relying on them.

Sources & legal basis

Method: pure arithmetic, no external data. The amount you enter is converted to an annual figure first (hourly × hours per week × weeks per year; daily × days per week × weeks per year; weekly × weeks per year; monthly × 12), then divided back into the other periods using the same hours, days and weeks. Figures are rounded to the penny for display only.

Reference figure: the minimum-wage rates quoted in the FAQ (£12.71 for 21 and over, £10.85 for 18 to 20, £8 for under-18s and apprentices, from April 2026) were confirmed directly against gov.uk on the date this page was built. The rates change on 1 April every year — verify against the same page before relying on them.
