About

Hourly Wage Calculator is a free UK finance tool that helps employees, workers, and freelancers convert their salary into an hourly rate quickly and accurately.

Our goal is to build the most useful, clear, and honest collection of UK salary and wage calculators — tools that give you the numbers you need without jargon or upselling.

Why we built this

Most hourly wage calculators online are minimal widgets buried inside HR software marketing pages. They typically show a single gross figure, lack supporting context, and are hard to use on mobile.

We built a better alternative — one that shows a full breakdown (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annual), lets you adjust hours and working weeks, compares your rate against the National Living Wage, and explains exactly how the maths works.

Accuracy & limitations

All figures are gross estimates based on the inputs you provide. Results do not account for income tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, or any other deductions. They should be used for guidance only.

National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage rates are updated when the government revises them (typically each April).

More tools coming soon

We are building additional UK calculators including take-home pay, salary comparison, overtime, and holiday pay tools. Check back soon.
