Salary Converter

The Salary Converter switches between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and annual figures so you can compare offers, contracts and pay rises on a common basis. Enter any one figure with your standard working hours and it returns the equivalent across all bases. The default assumption is 37.5 hours per week and 52 weeks per year (1,950 hours) — adjust to 35 hours, 40 hours or a custom figure depending on your contract. UK pay is almost always quoted gross, before income tax (20%, 40% or 45% in 2025/26), Class 1 NI (8% main rate post-April-2025 between £12,570 and £50,270), auto-enrolment pension (5% employee on band earnings of £6,240-£50,270) and student loan deductions. For full take-home figures, use the linked Take-Home Pay calculator. A £30,000 salary equates to roughly £576.92/week, £2,500/month gross and about £2,030/month net for an employee on Plan 2 student loan. This tool is for job seekers comparing salaried and hourly roles, contractors converting day rates into salary equivalents (e.g. £400/day × 220 working days = £88,000), part-time workers checking pro-rata fairness, and HR teams building offer letters. It is also useful for minimum-wage compliance checks — the 2025/26 National Living Wage (21+) is £12.21/hour, giving £23,809.50/year on a 37.5-hour week. What the calculator does NOT model: PAYE tax bands (use the Take-Home Pay tool), employer NI (15% from April 2025), bonuses, overtime premiums (see the Overtime calculator), salary sacrifice schemes, holiday pay 12.07% accrual for irregular hours workers, or umbrella-company deductions for contractors. It is a clean gross-to-gross unit converter. Regional notes: gross salary conversion is identical across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — Scottish taxpayers should use the Take-Home Pay calculator with the Scottish bands to see net pay. Pair with the Minimum Wage calculator to verify compliance and the Overtime calculator for premium hours.
