Explanation: The calculator first adjusts your gross pay proportionally based on your working hours, then subtracts your tax and NI contributions.
Details: Understanding your net pay is crucial for budgeting, financial planning, and ensuring you're being paid correctly. Part-time workers often need to calculate their pro-rata salary to compare with full-time positions.
Tips: Enter your full-time gross salary, your actual working hours, standard full-time hours for your role, and your estimated tax and NI contributions. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How do I find my full-time equivalent salary?
A: Multiply your part-time salary by (full-time hours / part-time hours). For example, if you earn £15,000 for 20 hours and full-time is 40 hours: £15,000 × (40/20) = £30,000 FTE.
Q2: Are part-time workers taxed differently?
A: No, but you may pay less tax overall as your income is lower. The same tax bands apply proportionally.
Q3: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a good estimate, but for precise figures consult your payslips or HR department as tax codes and allowances may affect your actual take-home pay.
Q4: What's the typical full-time hours in the UK?
A: Usually between 35-40 hours per week, but this can vary by employer and industry.
Q5: Do part-time workers get the same benefits?
A: Often benefits are pro-rated, but this depends on your employer's policies. Check your contract for details.
