How to convert hourly pay to annual salary
To estimate annual salary from hourly pay, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked each week, then multiply that weekly amount by the number of paid weeks in the year.
For example, someone earning £15 per hour for 40 hours a week over 52 weeks would have a gross annual salary of £31,200 before tax, National Insurance and other deductions.
The take-home estimate on this page is simplified. Actual pay can vary depending on tax code, pension setup, student loan plan, overtime, bonuses and payroll rules.

The rate you earn for each hour worked.

How to use this result
