Salary to Hourly Rate Calculator

Converts between an annual salary and an hourly rate so you can compare a salaried role against contract or part-time work. The conversion uses your actual working hours rather than a fixed assumption, which matters because a 37.5-hour week and a 45-hour week produce very different hourly figures from the same salary.

What the Salary to Hourly Rate Calculator does

When comparing a salaried job to contracting, remember the hourly figure is not the whole picture. A contractor rate has to cover unpaid holiday, sick leave, pension contributions and gaps between contracts — which is why contract rates look high next to an equivalent salary.
