How to use this calculator

Enter your gross annual salary, before any deductions.
Choose a standard working pattern or select Custom and enter your own weekly hours.
Adjust weeks per year if you are only paid for part of the year.
Read the hourly rate and the daily, weekly and monthly equivalents.

Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (weekly hours × weeks paid per year).
Weekly pay = annual salary ÷ weeks paid per year.
Monthly pay = annual salary ÷ 12, which is how most UK employers pay monthly staff.
Daily pay = annual salary ÷ (weeks × days worked per week).

This is a gross pay calculation and is not tax advice or a take-home pay estimate.
Salaried staff are normally paid the same each month regardless of the days in that month.
These results are for general guidance. See our disclaimer — this is not legal, tax or financial advice.

What is £35,000 a year per hour?

On a 37.5 hour week paid for 52 weeks it is about £17.95 an hour before deductions.

Should I use 52 weeks or 46.4 weeks?

Use 52 if your holiday is paid, which is normal for salaried employees. Reduce the weeks only if you are paid for part of the year.

Is this my take-home pay?

No. Income Tax, National Insurance, pension contributions and any student loan repayments come off these figures.
