Weekly Pay Calculator

How to Use This Calculator

Enter whichever pay figure you have on hand: your hourly rate, daily wage, monthly salary, or annual income. The calculator instantly converts it to weekly pay and displays all equivalent amounts across different time periods. You can also enter your weekly earnings and reverse-calculate the others—the tool works in both directions. Simply adjust the hours or days per week if your schedule differs from the standard 40-hour, 5-day week, and results update immediately.

Weekly Pay Formulas

The relationships between pay periods rely on consistent time units. All formulas centre on hourly wage as the anchor point:

• Hourly Wage — Your gross pay per hour before tax or deductions
• Hours per Week — Total hours worked weekly (typically 40 for full-time roles)
• Days per Week — Number of working days per week (typically 5)
• Weekly Pay — Your gross earnings for one week
• Annual Salary — Your gross yearly income before tax
• Monthly Pay — Your gross earnings per month

Key Conversions Explained

From Monthly to Weekly: Multiply your monthly figure by 12 to annualise it, then divide by 52 (weeks per year). Someone earning £2,000 monthly receives £2,000 × 12 ÷ 52 = £461.54 per week.

From Annual to Weekly: Simply divide yearly salary by 52. A £50,000 annual salary breaks down to £50,000 ÷ 52 = £961.54 weekly.

From Hourly to Weekly: Multiply hourly rate by your weekly hours. At £15 per hour working 40 hours weekly, you earn £15 × 40 = £600 per week. Part-time workers on 25 hours would receive £375.

From Daily to Weekly: Multiply daily pay by the number of working days per week. A £120 daily rate over 5 days equals £600 weekly.

Common Pitfalls When Converting Pay

Watch for these frequent mistakes when calculating weekly earnings from different pay periods:

1. Forgetting tax and deductions — The figures this calculator produces are gross amounts. Your actual take-home pay will be lower after income tax, national insurance, pension contributions, and other deductions. Check your payslip to see your net weekly earnings.
2. Incorrect weeks-per-year count — Using 4.33 weeks per month or 52.14 weeks per year may seem more 'accurate,' but most payroll systems standardise on 52 weeks annually. Stick with 52 unless your employer explicitly uses a different convention.
3. Variable hours and overtime — If your hours fluctuate weekly or you regularly work overtime, these conversions show your baseline only. Track actual hours worked and any overtime multipliers (typically 1.5× or 2×) separately for an accurate reflection of variable pay.
4. Different working schedules — Not everyone works Monday to Friday or 40 hours. Shift workers, compressed schedules, and those with unpaid breaks need to adjust the days and hours per week inputs to match their actual contract.

When You Need This Calculation

Job hunters comparing salary offers across different time bases find this essential—one role might quote £18 per hour, another £750 weekly, a third £39,000 annually. Translating to a common unit prevents costly errors. Freelancers and contractors hourly rates often need annualising for mortgage or loan applications. Budget planners use weekly breakdowns to match earnings with weekly expense cycles. Those receiving irregular bonuses or commission benefits from seeing the baseline weekly figure separately from variable pay.
