How Our UK Hourly Rate Calculator Works
Our UK hourly rate calculator helps you convert an hourly wage into estimated weekly, monthly and annual earnings. Enter your hourly rate and the number of hours you normally work each week, and the calculator will show how your pay translates across different time periods.
The calculation is useful for hourly-paid employees, shift workers, part-time workers, contractors and anyone comparing an hourly wage with an annual salary. For example, someone working 37.5 hours per week can quickly see the approximate annual salary represented by a particular hourly rate.
Weekly earnings are estimated from your hourly rate multiplied by your weekly working hours. Annual earnings are then estimated across the year, with monthly figures calculated from the annual amount. Your actual pay can vary if your hours change from week to week.
Overtime, enhanced weekend rates, night-shift premiums, bonuses and unpaid leave are not automatically included unless they form part of the hourly rate or working hours you enter. If you regularly receive additional payments, calculate them separately when comparing your overall earnings.
Please note: WeFixPay provides estimates for guidance only. Your actual gross pay may differ depending on your contract, working pattern, overtime arrangements and how your employer calculates paid hours.

How do I calculate my annual salary from an hourly rate?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work each week, then multiply the weekly amount by 52. The calculator does this automatically for you.
Can I use the calculator for part-time work?
Yes. Enter your actual hourly rate and the number of hours you normally work each week to estimate your weekly, monthly and annual gross pay.
Does the calculator include overtime?
Not automatically. If overtime is paid at a different rate, calculate those extra hours separately or include them when estimating your overall earnings.
Is the result before or after tax?
The Hourly Rate Calculator shows estimated gross earnings before Income Tax, National Insurance and pension deductions. For estimated take-home pay, use the Salary Calculator.
Can I compare two hourly-paid jobs?
Yes. Enter the hourly rate and weekly hours for each job separately. This can help you compare annual earnings even when the hourly rates or contracted hours are different.
Understanding Hourly Pay and Annual Salary
An hourly rate tells you how much you earn for each paid hour, while an annual salary represents your estimated earnings across a full year. Converting between the two can make it easier to compare jobs that use different pay structures.
The number of hours you work each week makes a major difference to your estimated annual earnings. Two people earning the same hourly rate can have very different yearly pay if one works full-time and the other works part-time. That is why the WeFixPay hourly rate calculator asks for both your hourly wage and your usual weekly working hours.
Remember that gross earnings are not the same as take-home pay. Income Tax, National Insurance, workplace pension contributions and other deductions can reduce the amount you actually receive. After calculating your estimated annual gross salary, you can enter that figure into our Salary Calculator to estimate your take-home pay.
Workers with variable shifts should use an average number of weekly hours where possible. If your hours change significantly throughout the year, the result should be treated as an estimate rather than an exact prediction of your annual earnings.
Holiday pay, overtime premiums, bonuses and additional allowances may also increase your total earnings and may need to be calculated separately.
