How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by hours per week and then by 52. For example, £15/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = £31,200 annual gross. If you take unpaid leave, multiply by the actual paid weeks (typically 48 in the UK after 28 days statutory leave is factored as paid).

How many hours are in a working year?

A full-time worker on 40 hours per week works 2,080 hours per year (52 × 40). With 5.6 weeks (28 days) statutory UK paid holiday, you actually work 1,876 hours but are paid for 2,080. EU varies — Germany 1,820, France 1,607, Netherlands 1,792 average.

Is this gross or take-home pay?

Gross — before income tax, National Insurance, pension contributions and student loan deductions. To estimate take-home pay use our Salary After Tax or Paycheck calculator. Typical UK take-home is 70–80% of gross for incomes between £20K and £50K.

What is a good hourly rate in the UK?

As of April 2026 the UK National Living Wage is £12.21/hour for workers aged 21+. The UK median hourly rate is £18.50 (ONS, 2025). Skilled trades typically £20–£35, technology professionals £30–£60, senior consultants £75+.

Does this work for part-time hours?

Yes. Just enter the hours you actually work per week. A 20-hour part-time role at £15/hour = £15,600 annual. The calculator scales correctly for any number of hours from 1 to 80.

Sådan fungerer omregning fra timeløn til årsløn

£25,000/year ÷ 2,080 hours = £12.02/hour
£35,000/year ÷ 2,080 = £16.83/hour
£50,000/year ÷ 2,080 = £24.04/hour
£75,000/year ÷ 2,080 = £36.06/hour
£100.000/år ÷ 2.080 = £48.08/hour

Should I Quote Contracts in Dag Rate or Timely?

Dag rates (typical for UK consultants and contractors) usually assume 7.5 productive hours per day. A £500/day contractor earns roughly £66/hour. For inside-IR35 contractors, use our IR35 Take-Home Calculator to see the difference between gross day rate and actual take-home.
