How to calculate a Pro-rata salary

Peppy86

Hi everyone,

I need your help. How can I calculate this kind of salary?: "Starting salary: pro-rata to £15,632, rising annually to £16,357". It's a part-time contract, 20 hours per week.

Thanks a lot!

You need to know the full-time hours -and- whether the figure quoted is the "half time pay" or the full salary.

So, is it a job that pays full-time £30-35k or so, or is it a £15-16k job done half time (earning about £8k)?

And, is it a 35 hour week, 37.5, 40, 42, 45?

Thank you for your answer. I can just assume that the full time would be 40 hours (because the part time is 20). The only information I have is that it is a permanent contract, part time, 20 hours with a pro rata starting salary to 15,632 rising annually to 16,357. It's not clear at all...

You need to know what the whole time equivalent is, beyond that, what are you unclear on?

Pro rated salaries are usually given at the full week rate, so as you're working a half week, you'll get half the cash, or £7500-odd. If it's your only job, though, it'll be the untaxed, first money in, lowest tax band.

Assuming the whole time is 40 hours, I don't understand when it says "starting salary to 15,635" because it doesn't provide a precise starting salary.

Yes, I think it is as you have said. It's half of the full time cash

Stop guessing and ask them.

then you want to know if they expect overtime is it paid and will it accrue holidays.

I think it means the starting salary for you is anything up to £15,635 pro rata and the position is for an increase (to the 16k figure). So approx 7.5k.
