To convert salary to hourly pay, divide the annual salary by the total number of hours worked in a year. For example, someone working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks works 2,080 hours per year.
Gross hourly pay is useful when comparing jobs, but estimated take-home hourly pay can be more realistic because it reflects deductions such as tax, National Insurance, pension contributions and student loan repayments.
