1. What is Part-Time Salary Calculation?

The Part-Time Salary Calculation determines the net pay for UK government employees working part-time based on their full-time equivalent salary, adjusted hours, and deductions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• \( \text{Gross Pay} \) — Full-time annual salary before deductions
• \( \text{Part-Time Hours} \) — Weekly hours worked part-time
• \( \text{Full-Time Hours} \) — Standard weekly full-time hours (typically 37.5 for UK government)
• \( \text{Income Tax} \) — Annual income tax amount
• \( \text{National Insurance} \) — Annual National Insurance contributions

Explanation: The calculation proportionally reduces the gross pay based on hours worked, then subtracts the applicable deductions.

3. Importance of Accurate Calculation

Details: Accurate part-time salary calculation ensures fair compensation and proper tax/NI contributions for government employees working reduced hours.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter full-time gross salary in GBP, both part-time and full-time hours (typically 37.5 for UK government), and known tax/NI amounts. All values must be positive numbers.
