Does not model benefits in kind, two jobs or directors' National Insurance. Monthly figures are the yearly amounts divided by 12. Payslips can differ by a few pounds a year.
These figures are estimates based on the information you entered and the 2026/27 rates and thresholds published by HMRC (and, for Scottish taxpayers, the Scottish Parliament). They are general information, not tax, financial or legal advice. Your actual take-home pay can differ, for example because of your tax code, pension arrangements, benefits, student loan plan or payroll timing. Check your payslip, or ask your employer or HMRC, before relying on these figures.
Before tax and take-home, by period
| Period | Before tax | Take-home |
|---|---|---|
| An hour | £15.38 | £12.88 |
| A day | £115.38 | £96.61 |
| A week | £576.92 | £483.07 |
| A month | £2,500.00 | £2,093.30 |
| A year | £30,000.00 | £25,119.60 |
Based on 52 paid weeks a year, including paid holiday.
Hours turn a salary into a rate
Two jobs with the same salary can pay very different hourly rates. Enter your real contracted hours to compare them fairly, and use the hourly wage calculator to go the other way.
Salary ÷ (hours a week × 52) is your hourly rate
To turn a yearly salary into an hourly rate, divide it by the hours you work in a year: your weekly hours × 52. On 37.5 hours a week that is 1,950 hours, so £30,000 a year is £15.38 an hour. A day rate is the salary divided by your working days in a year (5 days × 52 = 260).
This assumes you are paid for all 52 weeks, including paid holiday, as most employees are. Take-home per hour is your yearly take-home pay after income tax, National Insurance and any student loan or pension, divided the same way.
