Payslip query

in Mortgages & endowments
I've just received my March payslip. It shows period 12 so I thought the gross to date should equal my contractual annual salary. It is short by about 84%. I am applying for a mortgage but have misplaced my P60. I was hoping my March payslip would suffice. Am I missing something or have I been underpaid??

    "It is short by about 84%"

    Do you really mean you've only been paid 16% of your annual salary, or do you mean you've been paid 16% less than your annual salary?

    Are you paid four weekly, rather than monthly? May be that you have 13 periods in the year (so to speak....)

    I want to gather some information so that I can be sure that what they tell me is accurate. They've given me misinformation in the past. I think it depends on who responds to the call.

    Nothing wrong with that is there? Mr. HELPFUL? Hmm?

    Yes I do, thanks for replying. However the amount that is short states "gross salary" which I think is before deductions.

    Ah, ok that might be it. I'll call them now and hear what they say.

    Yes they confirmed that gross salary as detailed on my payslip is the same as 'taxable' salary and hence they've deducted all my benefits which are tax-free such as my pension, medical insurance, charity contributions, life insurance, etc. Apparently my total annual salary is never detailed on a payslip.

    Thanks for your replies.

    This is where we are with compensation culture. You are accusing your pay dept of getting it wrong and you dont even know how often you are paid.
