Salary to Hourly Calculator

Converting salary to an hourly rate

The standard conversion assumes 52 paid weeks a year — a £35,000 salary at 37.5 hours a week is about £17.95 an hour gross. This is your gross rate; after tax and National Insurance the effective hourly figure is lower (check any salary on our take-home pay calculator). Contractors comparing day rates should remember a permanent salary includes paid holiday, sick pay, employer pension contributions and employer NI, which together are typically worth 25–30% on top.
