Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × 52. A full-time week is usually 35 to 40 hours; 37.5 is common in offices. Paid holiday is included in the 52 weeks, because UK workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid leave.
The legal minimum for workers 21 and over is the National Living Wage of £12.71 an hour from April 2026 (see the minimum wage calculator).
