We compute your annual gross
Your gross annual salary is hourly rate × hours per week × 52 weeks.
2026/27 tax rules are applied
Income tax, National Insurance, pension and student loan are deducted using the same rules as the salary calculator.

Frequently asked questions
How do I work out my hourly rate from an annual salary?
Divide your annual gross salary by the number of hours you work in a year. For a full-time role that is usually hours per week × 52 — so a £30,000 salary on 37.5 hours a week works out at about £15.38 an hour.
Does being paid hourly change how much tax I pay?
No. HMRC taxes your total annual income, so whether you are salaried or paid by the hour, the same 2026/27 income tax, National Insurance and student loan rules apply to your gross annual salary.
Is overtime taxed more than my normal hours?
Overtime is added to your annual gross and taxed at your marginal rate — the rate your highest earnings fall into. You never pay 100% tax on extra hours, but extra earnings can push you into a higher tax band.
