1. What is Part-Time Net Pay?

Part-Time Net Pay is the amount of money a part-time worker takes home after accounting for their reduced hours and all applicable deductions like income tax and national insurance contributions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• Gross Pay — Annual full-time salary before deductions
• Part-Time Hours — Number of hours worked per week
• Full-Time Hours — Standard full-time hours per week (typically 37.5 in UK)
