Pro-rata calculator

Q: What does pro-rata salary mean?

Pro-rata salaries are paid to employees who work less than 40 hours a week or who work only part of the year.

Q: How to work out a pro-rata salary?

To calculate a part time wage, you need to know the full-time annual salary that it's based on. The easiest way to calculate your salary pro rata is as follows: Annual full-time salary / full-time hours x hours worked. For example, if your annual salary pro rata is £30,000 in a 40-hour week, but you actually only worked 25 hours a week, your part time salary would be £18,750. You can work out your take-home pay using our free prorated salary calculator , which will also work out the Income Tax and National Insurance due.

Calculate your take-home pay from your prorated salary if you work part-time. Or find out how your salary will be affected if you reduce working hours.

How much tax will I pay on my take-home?

Under the UK’s PAYE (Pay as you earn) system, employers deduct tax and National Insurance (NI) contributions before they pay you.

Most people can earn a certain amount tax free: in 2020/2021, this is set at £12,500. Tax is then calculated according to the amount you earn, with a 20% tax rate for income up to £37,500, and 40% tax on amounts above this, to £150,000. These figures are adjusted annually, and may vary across different regions of the UK.

Starting with your gross salary, your employer will calculate your tax and NI liabilities, taking into account your tax-free allowance and the tax bands your wage falls into.
