Does any body know what the hourly rate of pay would be of £18.426 the pay basis is yearly and the working hours will be 16 hours. Trying to work out what the pay will be monthly. It’s part time. 
Thank you

    18426 divided by 52.14285 divided by 16 = £22.08/hour

    How many hours is a full time contract?  If, for example, a full time contract is 40 hours per week, annual salary £20,000, then you would work it out as 16/40 x 20,000 = £8,000 per annum.  Divide by 12 and you have £666.66 per month.  Don't forget to deduct any National Insurance, Income tax and pension contributions too.

    If you're talking about £18.426 per hour, then it's 18.426 x 16 x 52 /12 = £1277.43 per month.

    The OP asked about hourly pay - specified the annual sum which I thought was for the role.  I then did not go on to say what the monthly pay would be - as 16 hours a week is obviously part-time and I would just have divided the total by sum by 12.
    Perhaps you are right that the annual pay is for a full-time role.

    Check whether the job says "pro-rata" or "fte", because if it says £18,426pa pro-rata or fte, it means that you get paid a proportion of this, and since that's 16 hours per week, it divides into the full time hours (probably 37 to 40). So your hourly rate would be somewhere around £8.85 to £9.58. Or £614.20 to £664.00 per month before tax and other deductions.

    Incorrect. 
    Salary you states needs to be divided by 52, than again by the equivalent full time hours, for example 37.5, would get you £9.44 per hour.

    You are incorrect if you think there are exactly 52 weeks in a year.
    And, as I wrote later, I was basing that on the annual pay being for the 16-hour role - the question itself did not say that there was any pro rata calculation needed.  (Mind you, perhaps I should have had a second thought when I saw someone earning £22/hour would need help to make the calculation.)

    I just thought it was obvious he wanted a pro rata basis and working it out for 52 weeks is the easier calculation.

    Absolutely despise it when they do that. When I was looking for work I'd occasionally come across a job that seemed to be well paid and apply. Then it'd turn out that the pay is "pro rata" so it's actually !!!!!!. Quite misleading I think. How hard is it to just give the hourly rate?
    Sometimes my advice may not be great, but I'm not perfect and I do try my best. Please take this into account.
