Assumptions

  • 37.5 hours over 5 days a week, 52 paid weeks a year.
  • Paid holiday counts as paid time. Overtime, bank holidays paid at premium rates and allowances are not included.
  • Figures are gross (before tax). Use the Take Home Pay calculator for net pay.

How this was calculated

paid weeks = 52 − unpaid weeks
annual     = hourly × hours per week × paid weeks
monthly    = annual ÷ 12
weekly     = annual ÷ paid weeks
daily      = annual ÷ (days per week × paid weeks)

Employees in the UK are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday, so a permanent salary normally covers all 52 weeks. Contractors and zero-hours workers are often not paid for holidays or gaps between assignments — enter those as unpaid weeks so the annual figure is realistic.

Worked example

£15 an hour × 37.5 hours × 52 weeks = £29,250 a year (£2,438 a month). With 4 unpaid weeks it falls to £27,000.

Frequently asked questions

How many working hours are in a year?
A full-time 37.5-hour week over 52 paid weeks is 1,950 hours. At 40 hours a week it is 2,080. Paid holiday is included because you are paid for it.
How do I convert a day rate to an annual salary?
Multiply the day rate by days worked per week and by the number of weeks you are actually paid. A £400 day rate for 5 days over 46 billable weeks is £92,000.
Is monthly pay annual ÷ 12 or weekly × 4?
Annual ÷ 12. A month averages 4.33 weeks, so weekly × 4 understates monthly pay by about 8%.
Does this include tax?
No, all figures are gross. Use the Take Home Pay calculator to see pay after Income Tax and National Insurance.
