Salary Converter (Hourly ⇄ Annual)
Convert pay between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and annual amounts.
About this calculator
Job adverts quote pay every possible way — £15.50 an hour, £120 a day, £2,600 a month. This converter translates any of them into all five standard periods (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annual) so you can compare offers like for like. Because the conversion depends on how much you actually work, you set the hours and days per week rather than us assuming a 40-hour week that most people don't work.
The formula
Worked example
£15.50/hour at 37.5 hours a week:
- Weekly = £15.50 × 37.5 = £581.25
- Annual = £581.25 × 52 = £30,225
- Monthly = £30,225 ÷ 12 = £2,518.75
Common mistakes
- Comparing gross figures when one job has a much better pension or benefits package.
- Using 4 weeks per month — a month is 4.33 weeks on average, so weekly × 4 understates monthly pay by 8%.
- Converting a contractor day rate to a salary without allowing for unpaid holidays and gaps (use the Contractor Day Rate calculator for that).
