Hourly Wage Calculator UK - Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate hourly wage from annual salary?
Divide your annual salary by the number of working hours per year. For example: £30,000 ÷ (37.5 hours × 52 weeks) = £15.38/hour. This calculator does this automatically and shows gross and net (take-home) hourly rates.
What is the UK minimum wage in 2025?
UK National Living Wage (age 21+): £11.44/hour from April 2024. Youth rates: £8.60 (18-20), £6.40 (16-17). Apprentice rate: £6.40. Rates reviewed annually in April.
How many working hours are in a year UK?
Standard calculation: 37.5-40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 1,950-2,080 hours/year. However, accounting for 28 days statutory holiday (5.6 weeks), actual working weeks are approximately 46.4 per year.
Does hourly wage include tax?
Hourly wage is typically quoted as gross (before tax). Your take-home hourly rate is lower after Income Tax (20-45%) and National Insurance (12%) are deducted. This calculator shows both gross and net rates.
