How it's worked out
A salary is paid across every week of the year, holidays included, so the hourly rate is the annual salary divided by weekly hours times 52.14 weeks (365 days ÷ 7). Monthly pay is the annual figure divided by 12; daily pay assumes a five-day week.
If you are paid only for the hours you work, holiday pay is on top of the hourly rate and is usually worked out at 12.07% of hours worked for irregular-hours workers.
Common questions
- What is the hourly rate for £30,000 a year?
- About £15.34 an hour on 37.5 hours a week, £14.38 on 40 hours, and £16.44 on 35 hours.
- How many working hours are in a year?
- On a 37.5-hour week, about 1,955 paid hours (37.5 × 52.14). Take off 28 days of holiday and you work roughly 1,745 of them — but a salary pays you for all 1,955.
- How do I work out my hourly rate from my salary?
- Divide the annual salary by the hours you work in a year: hours per week × 52.14. On 37.5 hours a week, £30,000 is £30,000 ÷ 1,955 ≈ £15.34 an hour.
- What is £25,000 a year per hour?
- About £12.79 an hour on a 37.5-hour week, or £11.99 on 40 hours.
- Does the hourly rate include holiday?
- Yes. A salary is paid across all 52 weeks, holidays included, so dividing by 52.14 weeks gives the rate for every paid hour. If you are paid only for hours worked, holiday pay is on top.
