Salary to hourly formula

Use this formula to convert salary to hourly rate:
Hourly wage = Annual salary ÷ (Hours per week × Weeks per year)

Example calculation

If your annual salary is £30,000, you work 37.5 hours/week, and use 52 weeks/year:

  • Total annual hours = 37.5 × 52 = 1,950
  • Hourly wage = £30,000 ÷ 1,950 = £15.38/hour

Common scenarios and adjustments

  • Part-time work: enter your actual weekly hours to calculate an accurate hourly wage.
  • Unpaid breaks: if breaks are unpaid, subtract them from weekly hours for a truer hourly rate.
  • Regular overtime: add your average overtime hours to reflect real working time.
  • Paid holiday: salaries usually include paid leave; using 52 weeks gives standard comparisons, while “worked weeks” gives a different perspective depending on your goal.
