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.
