To convert an hourly rate to a yearly salary, multiply the rate by the paid hours worked each week and then by the paid weeks in the year. £12.71 an hour at 37.5 hours a week is £476.63 a week and £24,784.50 a year before tax. Every figure on this page is gross pay, so income tax, employee National Insurance and pension come out afterwards.

How the hourly to annual calculation works

Weekly pay is the hourly rate multiplied by the paid hours worked in the week. Annual pay is that weekly figure multiplied by the paid weeks in the year — 52 for a continuous full year, fewer for term-time or seasonal patterns. Monthly pay is the annual figure divided by twelve, not weekly pay multiplied by four: a month averages 4.333 weeks, so the four-week shortcut understates pay by about 8%.

Hourly vs salaried: what changes

A salaried employee is paid through their holiday, so their annual salary already covers the statutory 5.6 weeks. An hourly worker paid only for hours worked needs holiday handled separately — either banked and paid when leave is taken, or paid as a 12.07% rolled-up holiday pay uplift. Tick the holiday option above to see the difference across a year.

Turning an hourly rate into a client charge rate

For agencies, the annual figure is only the worker’s side of the equation. Employer National Insurance, pension and holiday pay sit on top before any margin. The charge rate calculator converts the same pay rate into a client charge out rate with those costs included.

Part-year and term-time patterns

Term-time work is usually 38–39 paid weeks. Set the paid weeks per year to match, and the annual figure drops accordingly — 30 hours a week at £12 over 39 weeks is £14,040 rather than £18,720. Part-year workers also fall inside the irregular-hours holiday pay rules, so the 12.07% accrual applies to the hours actually worked.

Hourly to annual salary FAQs

Plain-English answers to the most common pay-conversion questions.

How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by the paid hours worked each week, then multiply by the number of paid weeks in the year (52 for a full year). For example, £12.71 an hour for 37.5 hours a week is £476.63 a week and £24,784.50 a year. Divide the annual figure by 12 for the monthly equivalent.
How much is £12.71 an hour a year?
£12.71 is the National Living Wage rate used here. At 40 hours a week it is £26,436.80 a year, at 37.5 hours it is £24,784.50, at 30 hours it is £19,827.60 and at 20 hours it is £13,218.40 — all before tax, National Insurance and pension deductions.
How many working hours are there in a year?
A 37.5-hour week over 52 weeks is 1,950 hours; a 40-hour week is 2,080 hours. If you exclude 5.6 weeks of statutory holiday, the worked total drops to about 1,740 hours for a 37.5-hour week and 1,856 for a 40-hour week.
Should holiday pay be included in the annual figure?
It depends on how you are paid. A salaried employee is paid through their holiday, so the annual figure already includes it. An irregular-hours or agency worker paid rolled-up holiday pay receives an extra 12.07% on top of the hours worked — tick the holiday uplift option to add it.
Is this figure before or after tax?
Before. Every result here is gross pay. Income tax, employee National Insurance, pension contributions and any student loan repayment are deducted afterwards, so take-home pay is lower than the annual figure shown.
How do I work out pay for term-time or part-year work?
Reduce the paid weeks per year. Term-time work is commonly 39 weeks, so 30 hours a week at £12 for 39 weeks is £14,040 a year rather than the £18,720 a 52-week pattern would give.
How do I convert an annual salary back to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the total paid hours in the year. A £31,200 salary on a 40-hour week over 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, so £15.00 an hour. Agencies use the same reverse calculation when a client quotes a salary and needs an equivalent temp rate.
What is the difference between the weekly and monthly figure?
A month is not four weeks. Multiply the weekly pay by 52 and divide by 12 to get the true monthly average — 4.333 weeks. Using four weeks understates monthly pay by roughly 8%.
