How to work out an NHS hourly rate from monthly pay

To convert monthly pay into an hourly rate, the calculator annualises your monthly figure and then divides by weeks and hours worked. The core calculation is:

Hourly rate = (Monthly pay × 12) ÷ (Weekly hours × 52)

Example: £2,000 per month × 12 = £24,000 per year. If you work 37.5 hours per week, the calculator divides £24,000 by (37.5 × 52) to estimate your hourly rate.
