What does pro rata mean + Need help working out what hourly rate

burtons

My girlfriend have started a part time job so she's trying to find out what pro rata means so she can find out what she earns a year so she can phone working tax credit. She was given a piece of paper saying £17,711 Pro Rata, 7.5 hours per week/38 weeks per year. 0.15% £9.18 per hour then £9.74 per hour.

Pro rata means the rate against a full time rate.


I get it at £67.22 a week.

Serves me right for not reading the post properly I thought it was against a 38 hour standard week.

What Mark means is that is the standard week 37.5 hrs, 40 hrs, etc. It make a difference.

For example If a salary was £24,000 per year Pro-rata but you only worked 9 months your actual salary would be £18,000.

What does pro rata mean

In short - proportionately

Simple example, if a full time position paid £24000 pa, based on a 40 hour week but you were part time only working 20 hours per week, your pro rata salary would be £12000.

When my full time colleagues comment on the perks of being part time...they seem to forget that salary is proportionally reduced too!!

Worth remembering though that...


Someone on £12000 pays no tax
Someone on £24000 actually earns 21600


So in essence their time is worth slightly less

Definitely £67.22 per week (£17,711 * (7.5/38)) is £3495.59 per annum. Or £291.30 per month / £67.23 PW.

Not enough info in that to work anything out.

If it say £9.18ph use that.

When does £9.47 kick in.?
