Hourly Rate: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hourly rate calculations in the UK. For related topics, try our overtime pay calculator or holiday calculator.

How do I convert my annual salary to an hourly rate?
Divide your annual salary by the total hours you work per year. For example, a £30,000 salary with 37.5 hours per week over 52 weeks is £30,000 ÷ (37.5 × 52) = £30,000 ÷ 1,950 = £15.38 per hour. The calculator above does this instantly — just enter your salary and hours.
What weekly hours should I use when converting salary to hourly rate?
Use your contracted hours, not the hours you actually work. Full-time in the UK is typically 37.5 hours (7.5 hours per day, Monday to Friday) or 40 hours. If you regularly work unpaid overtime, your effective hourly rate will be lower than this calculation shows.
How do I calculate a day rate from an annual salary?
First convert to an hourly rate (salary ÷ total annual hours), then multiply by your working hours per day. For a £30,000 salary working 7.5 hours per day: hourly rate = £15.38, so day rate = £15.38 × 7.5 = £115.38. For freelancers and contractors, day rates are often set higher to cover tax, insurance, and absence of employment benefits.
Does the hourly rate calculation include holiday pay?
Yes. When you receive an annual salary, it includes 5.6 weeks of statutory paid holiday (28 days for a standard 5-day week). If you use 52 weeks in the calculation, the holiday pay is already included in the annual salary figure. If you only work 46 or 47 weeks per year due to unpaid leave, use the actual weeks worked to get a more accurate hourly rate.
How does overtime pay relate to my hourly rate?
Overtime is usually calculated as a multiple of your base hourly rate. Common rates are 1.5x (time and a half) or 2x (double time). If your hourly rate is £15.38, time and a half would be £23.07 per overtime hour. Use our overtime pay calculator to work out the total for any combination of regular and overtime hours.
What is the National Minimum Wage and how does it affect my hourly rate?
The National Minimum Wage sets a floor below which no employer can legally pay. From April 2025, the rates are: £12.21 for workers aged 21 and over, £10.00 for ages 18-20, and £7.55 for under-18s and apprentices. Convert any salary to an hourly rate and check it exceeds the minimum for the employee's age group. Always check gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates for the current rates.
How does IR35 affect hourly rates for contractors?
IR35 (off-payroll working rules) can significantly affect a contractor's effective hourly rate. If caught by IR35, contractors are taxed similarly to employees but without employment rights. This can reduce take-home pay by 25-30% compared to working outside IR35. Contractors need to factor in their tax position when quoting day or hourly rates.
How does salary sacrifice affect my hourly rate?
Salary sacrifice (for pensions, cycle-to-work, or childcare vouchers) reduces your gross salary. If you sacrifice £2,000/year into a pension, calculate your hourly rate on the reduced salary (£28,000 instead of £30,000). Your effective hourly rate drops, but you gain the tax and National Insurance savings on the sacrificed amount.
What is a part-time hourly rate calculation?
For part-time employees, the formula is the same: annual salary ÷ total annual hours. A part-time employee earning £15,000 working 20 hours per week for 52 weeks: £15,000 ÷ (20 × 52) = £15,000 ÷ 1,040 = £14.42 per hour. Part-time employees must receive the same hourly rate as comparable full-time employees (pro rata principle).
How do I calculate monthly and weekly pay from an hourly rate?
From an hourly rate: weekly pay = hourly rate × hours per week; monthly pay = (hourly rate × hours per week × 52) ÷ 12. For example, £15/hour × 37.5 hours = £562.50/week. Annual = £562.50 × 52 = £29,250. Monthly = £29,250 ÷ 12 = £2,437.50. The calculator above shows hourly, daily, and annual figures automatically.
