What is £11 an hour as an annual salary and take-home pay in the UK?
On a standard 37.5-hour week, £11 an hour works out to a £21,450 annual salary. For 2026/27, that gives take-home pay of £18,963.60 a year after £1,776 Income Tax and £710.40 National Insurance -- about £1,580.30 a month.
Full answer
Using a standard full-time working week of 37.5 hours, £11 an hour converts to an annual salary of £11 x 37.5 x 52 = £21,450. This is below the 2026/27 National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over, so it typically applies to under-21 rates, part-time hours scaled up, or specific sectors with lower minimum rates. On this salary for 2026/27: taxable income after the £12,570 Personal Allowance is £8,880, all within the 20% basic rate band, giving £1,776 Income Tax. National Insurance is 8% of £8,880 above the Primary Threshold, giving £710.40. Combined deductions of £2,486.40 leave £18,963.60 take-home a year, around £1,580.30 a month or £364.68 a week. Anyone working fewer than 37.5 hours a week at this rate would pay proportionally less tax and NI, and may fall entirely within the tax-free Personal Allowance if their total annual earnings stay below £12,570.
