Salary - how to work it out?

Hey,

I'm hoping someone can help me. After being unemployed for a while I've managed to land myself two job offers.

The first one being full time at £12,500 a year.

The second one being 11am - 5pm Monday to Friday at £15,500 pro rata.

Maths was never my strong point, can anyone help me work out how much the second one would actually be? The second job is definitely the preferred but I can't afford to be too picky with it either.

Thanks :)

    £11,525.6 a year, although I am probably wrong as i've been messing about with a set of accounts all dead and my brain has died a little!

    I got £11'625 assuming a normal working week of 40 hours. Maths isn't my best subject either though..............

    I guess my £12,400 is wrong then :( (wishful thinking)

    In that case it would be a 35 hour week as lunches are unpaid? Would that be right? Never entirely sure about these things!

    £13'285 is what I make it with a 35 hour week.............

    I was being silly and doing it with 37.5, forgetting lunch wouldn't be taken off with a salary. I now get the £11,625 too.

    Thanks :)

    Breaks are paid. It's through an agency and they seem to be a bit clueless, have been on the phone to them a couple times :)
