How is the conversion done?

Annual pay equals hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. From the annual figure, weekly is annual ÷ weeks per year, monthly is annual ÷ 12 and hourly is annual ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year).

How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the annual figure by the number of hours you work in a year (hours per week × weeks per year). A £40,000 salary at 40 hours a week over 52 weeks is 40000 ÷ 2080 ≈ £19.23 per hour.

How do I turn an hourly wage into an annual salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by your hours per week and weeks per year. £20/hour at 40 hours over 52 weeks is 20 × 40 × 52 = £41,600 a year. Set the hours and weeks fields to match your actual schedule.

Why does monthly pay use 12 even though weeks vary?

Monthly is derived from the annual total divided by 12, not from a fixed number of weeks per month. This avoids the rounding errors you get from assuming every month has exactly 4 weeks.

What if I take unpaid holiday or only work part of the year?

Lower the "weeks per year" figure to reflect the weeks you are actually paid. For example, 48 weeks instead of 52 accounts for four unpaid weeks and reduces the annual and monthly equivalents accordingly.

Does this include tax or deductions?

No. These are gross figures only. Tax, social contributions and other deductions vary by country and are not applied — use a take-home pay tool for net figures.

Is my salary information private?

Yes. All conversions happen locally in your browser and nothing is ever sent to a server.

Salary to Hourly Converter

How it works

Everything is derived from an annual total. Depending on what you entered, the annual figure is hourly × hoursPerWeek × weeksPerYear, or weekly × weeksPerYear, or monthly × 12, or simply the annual amount itself. From that annual total the converter computes the rest: hourly is annual ÷ (hoursPerWeek × weeksPerYear), weekly is annual ÷ weeksPerYear and monthly is annual ÷ 12. The hours-per-week and weeks-per-year fields (40 and 52 by default) let you match your real schedule.

Example

£20 per hour at 40 hours a week over 52 weeks: the annual figure is 20 × 40 × 52 = £41,600, which is £3,466.67 a month and £800 a week.

Hourly	Weekly (40h)	Monthly	Annual (52 wk)
£12.00	£480.00	£2,080.00	£24,960.00
£15.00	£600.00	£2,600.00	£31,200.00
£20.00	£800.00	£3,466.67	£41,600.00
£30.00	£1,200.00	£5,200.00	£62,400.00
