How do I convert my NHS hourly rate to annual salary?

Enter your NHS hourly rate and contracted weekly hours (37.5 is common for full-time Agenda for Change roles). The calculator converts your hourly pay to annual, monthly, weekly and daily gross salary.

How many hours are full-time in the NHS?

Most full-time Agenda for Change roles use 37.5 hours per week, often across five days. If your contract is different (for example 30, 40 or 42 hours), change the weekly hours field.

Does this calculator show take-home pay after tax?

No. This page converts hourly pay into gross salary. If you want net pay after tax, National Insurance and pension, use the NHS take-home pay calculator.

Not NHS – can I use a general hourly to salary calculator?

Yes. If you are not on NHS Agenda for Change, use the general hourly-to-salary converter linked on this page.

How to work out NHS salary from hourly rate

This page converts NHS pay per hour into an estimated annual salary using your contracted hours. The core calculation is:

Annual salary = Hourly rate × Weekly hours × 52

Example: £18.00 per hour × 37.5 hours × 52 weeks ≈ £35,100 gross per year. The calculator then breaks this into monthly, weekly and daily figures.

NHS hourly rate FAQs

Does this include unsocial hours, overtime or London weighting?

This converter is for turning an hourly rate into salary using hours worked. If your hourly rate already includes enhancements, the annual figure will reflect that. If you have separate enhancements, enter your blended hourly rate or calculate separately.

Is this the same as take-home pay?

No. This page estimates gross salary from an hourly rate. For net pay after tax, NI and pension, use NHS take home pay calculator.
