not sure where to post

Is there a wages calculator that would calculate how much i earn, if day off
don't want to go into details, but if i were off for one day the company were taking 1/5 off nett and not gross, I need to know do I just divide gross by 5 then multiply by 4. how does tax and ni work then?

if i got £100 per week (nett) and took a day off I was getting £20. ie 1/5 nett. need to know how much they owe me./

    sorry this isn't it.

    Basically the company I was working for were giving me my wages on a friday however, if I took a day off during the week, they were taking 1/5 of my take home pay and not the gross.

    I need to know how much they owe me. something that calculates the take home pay if I took a day off unpaid?

    Does this help

    It might be easier if you told us all the figures off the payslip to be honest. I take it you are weekly paid but on payroll and not casual/cash in hand?

    anyway to work out someone's daily rate, you don't take a week or months pay and divide by 5 or 20-odd. It is worked out annually by dividing your annual salary by the 260 working days. This might be why your calculation of your daily rate is different to theirs.

    Any advice given is as an individual, not as a representative of my firm.

    Let us know your hourly rate, the no. of hours you usually work over 5 days, and the tax code your employer uses for you, and someone will work it out for you.

    If you're getting paid casual/cash in hand and responsible for paying your own tax/NI, they're doing it right !
    Google is my friend ..... :j

    gets a gross figure, with tax and ni, but take home pay. If he was off for one day company takes 1/5 off nett pay and not gross pay. I know how to calcuate the wages, but need someone to tell me what to do

    the gross pay /5 (ie each day), then take £110 the amount you are allowed to earn free, then its 22% tax, then its 11% NI.

    is that it. do i take the 22% off gross - £110, then the NI off the remainder?

    oh company work everything out in Nett!

    try thesalarycalculator.com You can put in the hours etc and see what it comes out as and calculate the difference between four days work and five days work and see if they are underpaying or not.
