How This Calculator Works
This calculator converts your gross hourly rate into annual, monthly, weekly, and daily equivalents — both before and after Income Tax.
Gross Salary Calculation
Hourly × Hours × Weeks = Annual
Example: £15.00 × 37.5 hours × 52 weeks = £29,250 per year
Annual ÷ 12 = Monthly
£29,250 ÷ 12 = £2,437.50 per month
Weekly ÷ Days = Daily
£562.50 ÷ 5 days = £112.50 per day
Net Income Calculation
The net figures apply the UK Income Tax bands to the calculated annual salary, then divide back down to hourly/daily/weekly/monthly rates. The Personal Allowance (£12,570 for 2025/26) is deducted before tax is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the annual salary calculated from an hourly rate?
Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. For a standard 37.5-hour, 52-week year: Hourly × 37.5 × 52. For a 40-hour week: Hourly × 40 × 52.
Does this include holiday pay?
If you are a salaried employee, your annual salary typically includes paid holiday. This calculator assumes you work the full number of weeks entered (default 52). If you are a contractor or zero-hours worker, your actual earnings will depend on the weeks you actually work.
Why is my net pay different from my actual take-home?
This calculator shows Income Tax only. Your actual take-home pay will also be reduced by National Insurance contributions (8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270), pension contributions, student loan repayments, and any other deductions your employer makes.
What is the Personal Allowance for 2025/26?
The standard Personal Allowance is £12,570. This is the amount you can earn before paying Income Tax. If your income exceeds £100,000, the allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 over that threshold, reaching £0 at £125,140.
Does Scotland have different rates?
Yes. Select "Scotland" in the Region dropdown to apply Scottish Income Tax rates. Scotland has more bands (including a 19% Starter Rate and 21% Intermediate Rate) and higher top rates than the rest of the UK.
