Understand Your Numbers
This calculator converts an hourly wage into weekly, monthly, and annual pay using your schedule. You can optionally add overtime and a simple single-rate after-tax estimate. All calculations run locally in your browser.
Formulae
- Weekly hours = hours/week + (overtime hours × overtime multiplier)
- Weekly pay = hourly × weekly hours
- Annual pay = weekly pay × weeks/year
- Monthly pay = annual pay ÷ 12
- After-tax = amount × (1 − taxRate)
Notes
The after-tax estimate uses a single percentage and does not account for personal allowances, multiple tax bands, National Insurance, pension, or other deductions. For exact figures, consult official resources for your country.
Hourly → Annual: FAQs
How do I get from hourly to annual?
Multiply hourly wage by total weekly hours (including overtime), then by weeks per year.
What should I use for weeks per year?
52 is common. Adjust if you have unpaid leave, seasonal work, or a different pattern.
Can I include overtime?
Yes—add overtime hours and choose a multiplier (e.g., 1.5×). Set to 0 if not applicable.
Is the after-tax figure accurate?
It’s a simplified single-rate estimate. Real pay depends on allowances, bands, and other deductions.
5 Fun Facts about Hourly → Annual Pay
Paid breaks boost the effective rate
If your 8-hour day includes a paid 1-hour break, you’re paid for 8 hours but work 7—your effective hourly jumps ~14%.
Hidden lift
Overtime premia skew averages quickly
One weekly 2-hour shift at 1.5× on a 40-hour week pushes the blended hourly up ~2.5% before any bonuses.
Blend boost
13th-month pay breaks the divide-by-12 habit
Countries with 13th/14th-month pay mean monthly gross can be higher than annual ÷ 12—great for budgeting if you plan for it.

Tax bands can make raises look uneven
A £1/hour raise (~£2k/year) might bump you into a new tax band, changing take-home disproportionately to the gross increase.
