- £15.50 an hour × 37.5 hours × 52 weeks = £30,225 a year.
- That’s £2,518.75 a month and £581.25 a week before tax.
- Take off Income Tax (£3,531) and National Insurance (£1,412): you keep £25,282 a year, or £2,106.80 a month.
Use 52 weeks if you’re paid for holidays, which most employees are.
Formulas
Yearly salary = hourly rate × hours a week × 52
Hourly rate = yearly salary ÷ (hours a week × 52)
Use 52 weeks if you’re paid for holidays and bank holidays, which almost all employees are. If you’re only paid for the weeks you work, use those weeks instead. Open “See the sum with your figures” under the calculator to see each step for your own rate.
