Salary to Hourly Calculator FAQ

How is the hourly rate calculated from an annual salary?
Hourly rate = Annual salary ÷ (Hours per week × Weeks per year). At 40 hours per week, 52 weeks: £50,000 ÷ 2,080 = £24.04/hour.

How is the daily rate calculated?
Daily rate = Weekly rate ÷ (Hours per week ÷ 8), assuming an 8-hour working day. Adjust hours per week for different day lengths.

What should I set for weeks per year?
52 weeks is the standard. If you take unpaid holidays or work fewer weeks, reduce this figure. Employees who receive paid leave typically work 52 weeks' worth of hours even if they have holidays.

How do I compare a salary with a contractor day rate?
Enter the salary in Salary → Hourly mode to find the daily equivalent. Then compare this to the day rate, remembering that contractors typically pay their own taxes, national insurance, and receive no benefits.

Does this include taxes or deductions?
No. All figures are gross (before tax). Use a dedicated tax or payroll calculator for net take-home pay.

Is my data sent anywhere?
No. All calculations happen in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
