1. What is Partial Month Salary Calculation?

The Partial Month Salary calculation determines the appropriate salary payment when an employee works only part of a month, either due to starting mid-month, leaving mid-month, or taking unpaid leave.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Gross Pay} \) — Annual salary amount
• \( \text{Days Worked} \) — Number of days actually worked in the month
• \( \text{Total Days in Month} \) — Total calendar days in the month (typically 28-31)

Explanation: First calculates the monthly salary by dividing annual gross pay by 12, then prorates based on the proportion of days worked in the month.

3. Importance of Accurate Calculation

Details: Accurate partial month salary calculation ensures fair compensation for employees and proper payroll accounting for employers. It's essential for new hires, terminations, and leave situations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter annual gross pay, number of days actually worked, and total days in the month. All values must be positive numbers, with days worked not exceeding total days in month.
