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.

NHS monthly to hourly FAQs
Does this include unsocial hours, overtime or enhancements?
This converter uses the monthly pay you enter. If your monthly pay already includes enhancements, the hourly result will reflect that.
If enhancements vary, you may want to use an average monthly figure.
Is this the same as take-home pay?
No. This page converts gross monthly pay into an hourly rate. For net pay after tax, National Insurance and pension,
use NHS take home pay calculator.
