Hourly Pay FAQ
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about converting hourly wages to salaries and understanding UK payroll deductions.
To calculate your annual salary, multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, and then multiply that result by the number of weeks you work per year (typically 52). For example, £12/hour × 35 hours × 52 weeks = £21,840 gross annual salary.
Yes, you can input any hourly rate, including the current National Living Wage (e.g., £11.44 per hour for those aged 21 and over in 2024/2025). The calculator will accurately estimate your take-home pay based on that figure.
National Insurance (NI) is calculated on your total annual gross earnings. For the 2024/2025 tax year, you pay 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% on earnings above £50,270. The calculator annualises your hourly wage to apply these bands correctly.
