How the conversion works
- Hourly to annual: hourly rate × hours a week × weeks a year.
- Annual to hourly: annual salary ÷ (hours a week × weeks a year).
- 37.5 hours × 52 weeks = 1,950 paid hours a year. A £30,000 salary is £15.38 an hour on that basis.
- Take-home uses the 2026/27 England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland rates and your tax code.
Frequently asked questions
How much is £15 an hour a year?
At 37.5 hours a week for 52 weeks, £15 an hour is £29,250 gross. On a standard 1257L code with no pension or student loan, take-home is about £24,580 a year, or £2,048 a month.
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the salary by paid hours in the year. For 37.5 hours over 52 weeks that is 1,950 hours, so £30,000 is about £15.38 an hour.
Does the hourly rate include holiday pay?
For regular hours it should not — holiday pay is paid when you take leave. If your rate is described as including rolled-up holiday pay, the underlying base rate is lower than the headline figure.
