Salary to Hourly Rate Calculator

Converting a salary to an hourly rate tells you what your time is really worth and makes it easy to compare a job offer with freelance or contract work. Divide the annual salary by the total hours you work in a year — hours per week times weeks per year — to get the hourly figure.

For a truer number, subtract your paid holiday and public holidays from the 52 weeks, since you are paid a salary for those but do not work them. Remember, too, that benefits and pension add value on top of the base hourly rate this shows.
