What this calculator tells you
This converter answers a simple question: what does my pay look like in other time units? It helps when comparing a salaried offer with contract or hourly work, or when a job advert quotes a different pay period from the one you are used to.
Every conversion goes through your annual figure, using the hours and paid weeks you enter. Change them to match part-time work, unpaid leave or a 4-day week.

Annual pay
annual = amount × periods_per_yearHourly rate
hourly = annual ÷ (hours_per_week × weeks_per_year)Daily rate
daily = annual ÷ (5 × weeks_per_year)Monthly pay

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. With 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so £52,000 a year is £25 an hour.
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?
Use 52 if you are paid for holidays (most salaried jobs). If you are only paid for weeks you actually work, enter the number of paid weeks instead.
Why is monthly pay not simply weekly pay × 4?
A year has about 4.33 weeks per month on average (52 ÷ 12). We convert through the annual figure so monthly pay is always annual ÷ 12.
Is this before or after tax?
Before tax. The converter works on whatever figure you enter; it does not apply tax or deductions.
