When to use this calculator
- Before accepting a pay change, bonus, pension contribution or salary-sacrifice option.
- When you want a simple take-home estimate before payroll or filing.
- When you are approaching the £100,000 income level and want to see the personal allowance taper.
- When you need to convert between hourly, monthly and annual pay.
Example: translating an hourly rate into annual pay
Use these sample inputs as a quick scenario test, then change one variable at a time to compare outcomes.
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Hourly rate | £22 |
| Weekly hours | 40 hours |
| Working weeks | 48 weeks |
| Goal | Compare with a salaried role on a like-for-like basis |
This example matters because the annual picture changes quickly when hours or paid weeks move. That is usually the difference between a headline rate that looks strong and one that actually supports the target income.

Method & assumptionsAuthoritative sources
This calculator converts an hourly rate into gross weekly, monthly and annual pay using the working hours and paid weeks you enter. It multiplies hourly rate by hours per week and weeks per year, then divides the annual result by 12 for a monthly equivalent.
The result is before tax, payroll deductions, unpaid leave, overtime or bonuses. It does not apply any country-specific payroll rules, so use the maintained local tax calculator where you need an estimated take-home figure.
Common mistakes
- !Entering gross income when you really want take-home pay, or vice versa.
- !Ignoring pension contributions, deductions or local tax rules that change the result.
- !Comparing monthly and annual figures without standardising them first.
- !Overlooking National Insurance or student-loan plan differences that apply to you.
What to do next
- Check the same scenario with related pay or deduction calculators.
- Keep a copy of the assumptions so you can compare the next tax year or pay period.
- If you are self-employed, compare this result with the self-employment tax calculator.
- Check whether a small pension contribution change moves take-home pay more than you expect.
