1. What is Part-Time Salary Calculation?

The part-time salary calculation converts a full-time salary to its part-time equivalent based on the number of hours worked. This helps both employers and employees understand fair compensation for part-time work.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Full-Time Salary — Annual salary for full-time position
• Part-Time Hours — Weekly hours for part-time position
• Full-Time Hours — Weekly hours considered full-time (typically 40)

Explanation: The calculation prorates the full-time salary based on the ratio of part-time to full-time hours.

3. Importance of Accurate Calculation

Details: Accurate part-time salary calculation ensures fair compensation, helps with budgeting, and maintains pay equity between full-time and part-time employees.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the full-time annual salary, desired part-time hours per week, and standard full-time hours per week (default is 40). All values must be positive numbers.
