How to Calculate Your UK Hourly Rate

To calculate your hourly rate from your annual UK salary, divide your yearly salary by the number of hours you work in a year.

Formula: Hourly Rate = Yearly Salary / (52 weeks × Hours per week)

For example, if you earn £30,000 per year (close to the UK average salary) and work 37.5 hours per week hours per week (standard UK full-time hours), your hourly rate would be: £30,000 / (52 × 37.5) = £15.38 per hour.

This calculator is particularly useful for UK employees to understand their hourly worth, compare job offers, or calculate overtime rates. It's also helpful for UK employers to determine fair hourly compensation and ensure compliance with UK minimum wage regulations.
