An Hourly Pay Calculator turns your hourly rate into gross daily, weekly, monthly and annual earnings, then estimates your take-home pay after applicable deductions. Add your tax code, pension rate, student loan plan, overtime or bonus for a more accurate figure. Useful for comparing job offers, checking part-time or shift earnings, or seeing how a pay rise changes your annual income.
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks Worked per Year
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Hourly Rate | £18 |
| Hours per Week | 37.5 |
| Weeks per Year | 52 |
| Result | £18 × 37.5 × 52 = £35,100 |
This is your gross figure, before Income Tax, National Insurance, pension and other deductions. A standard full-time year works out to roughly 1,950 hours (37.5 × 52) useful to know if you need to work out a figure by hand.
The same formula scales down: multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours for weekly pay, then divide your annual figure by 12 for a monthly estimate. At £18/hour and 37.5 hours a week, that's £675 a week and roughly £2,925 a month, before deductions. The calculator above shows all four figures daily, weekly, monthly and annual at once.
This calculator provides an estimate for informational purposes only. Actual payslips may vary depending on your employer, tax code, payroll system, and individual circumstance.
Based on a 37.5-hour week and 52 working weeks a year:
| Hourly Rate | Estimated Annual Pay |
|---|---|
| £12/hour | £23,400 |
| £12.71/hour (National Living Wage, 21+, from April 2026) | £24,785 |
| £15/hour | £29,250 |
| £18/hour | £35,100 |
| £20/hour | £39,000 |
| £25/hour | £48,750 |
| £30/hour | £58,500 |
| £40/hour | £78,000 |
Figures are gross, before deductions. Confirm the current National Living Wage rate on GOV.UK.
Same hourly rate, different weekly hours shows how much your schedule affects annual pay:
| HOURLY RATE | WEEKLY HOURS | WEEKLY PAY | ESTIMATED ANNUAL PAY |
|---|---|---|---|
| £15.00 | 20 hours | £300.00 | £15,600 |
| £15.00 | 30 hours | £450.00 | £23,400 |
| £15.00 | 37.5 hours | £562.50 | £29,250 |
| £15.00 | 40 hours | £600.00 | £31,200 |
| £15.00 | 45 hours | £675.00 | £35,100 |
If you're starting from an annual salary and want to work out the equivalent hourly rate, use our dedicated Salary to Hourly Calculator or Hourly Rate Calculator they're built specifically for that direction. This page focuses on the opposite: turning your hourly wage into weekly, monthly and annual pay.
Your hourly wage is gross pay. Take-home (net) pay is what's left after:
| DEDUCTION | WHAT IT MEANS |
|---|---|
| Income Tax | Charged on earnings above your Personal Allowance. |
| National Insurance | Contributions based on your earnings. |
| Workplace Pension | Deducted if you're enrolled in a workplace pension scheme. |
| Student Loan | Repayments based on your specific loan plan and income threshold. |
| Salary Sacrifice | Salary exchanged for non-cash workplace benefits. |
Example: £18/hour at 37.5 hours a week gives a gross annual figure of £35,100 your actual take-home will be lower once tax, NI and any pension or student loan deductions apply. The exact amount depends on your tax code, pension contribution, student loan plan, and whether you're in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Check your tax code against GOV.UK if you're unsure.
For a deeper breakdown of gross vs net figures, see our UK Tax Brackets 2026/27 page.
Overtime and bonus payments are added on top of your base hourly earnings and can be included directly in the calculator above. Because extra pay can also increase your Income Tax, NI and student loan repayments, it's worth adding it in for a realistic total rather than estimating separately.
For overtime-specific rates and rules (time-and-a-half, double time), see our Overtime Pay Calculator and Double Time Pay Calculator.
| HOURLY WAGE | ANNUAL SALARY |
|---|---|
| Paid for every hour worked | Fixed yearly income |
| Changes with hours worked | Usually the same each month |
| Overtime increases pay directly | Overtime often paid separately (or not paid) |
| Common for part-time/shift work | Common for full-time roles |
Useful when comparing a job offer paying an hourly rate against one quoting a fixed salary factor in weekly hours, holiday pay and overtime opportunities, not just the headline number.

Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours, then by the number of weeks you work per year: Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year. At £18/hour, 37.5 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, that's £35,100 gross.
At 37.5 hours a week over 52 weeks: £13.50 × 37.5 × 52 = £26,325 gross per year. Enter your own hours in the calculator above if they differ.
This depends on your role, experience and employer — there's no single figure. If you're on the National Living Wage, check the current rate on GOV.UK; otherwise it's whatever rate is agreed in your contract. Enter your rate into the calculator above to see what it works out to weekly, monthly and annually.
