Where:

• Hourly Wage — Your pay rate in pounds sterling per hour
• Hours per Week — Number of hours worked each week
• 52 — Number of weeks in a year

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does this include holidays and paid time off?
A: This calculation assumes you're paid for all 52 weeks. If you have unpaid time off, you would need to adjust the weeks factor accordingly.

Q2: Is this before or after tax?
A: This shows gross (pre-tax) annual salary. Take-home pay will be less after income tax and National Insurance deductions.

Q3: What about overtime pay?
A: This calculator uses your standard hourly rate. If you regularly work overtime, you would need to calculate that separately and add it to your base salary.

Q4: How accurate is this for part-time work?
A: The calculation works the same way for part-time work, as long as your hours are consistent week-to-week.

Q5: What if my hours vary each week?
A: For variable hours, use your average weekly hours. For more precise calculation, track your actual hours over several weeks.
