Pro rata salary - can you help explain it?

[millimat]

So there's a hlta job advertised as £26470 pro rata per annum. 30.75 hours per week. What does that mean for the take home pay?

[Hollowvictory]

You divide it by the FT hours and then multiply it by the part time hours.

[TheInvestigator]

It should be £21,705.40.

[StereophonicallyChallenged]

Depends on what they class as full time. Big difference between 40 or 35 hours.

Basically take that salary, divide by full time hours and multiply by 30.75 for actual salary

[TheInvestigator]

That figure is based on standard full time of 37.5 hours.

[showmethegin]

26470 / 38 (or whatever full time hours are)
= 696.58
696.58 x 30.75 = £21419

[mumwon]

not so simple this salary maybe only term time with x weeks holidays paid (pro rata) added on - some schools -I gather from friends - than divide pay over the 52 weeks - I don't know if this is universal across country

[Notonaschoolnight]

What last poster said you need to take off the 12 weeks of holidays and put back any you may get paid for you’ll need to ask

[ColeHawlins]

It looks to be roughly a 0.8 role.

[Notonaschoolnight]

Eg I work lunchtime at school so on minimum wage x 7.5 hours a week I then multiply that total by 39 weeks as I only get paid term time then I divide by 12 as they spread my wage even through the year and pay me the same each month

[superram]

Don’t work it in hours as schools are weeks so it is those hours but for 39 weeks rather than 52. £19852.50 is what I think it will be. Spread across 12 months.

[superram]

Full time hours don’t apply to schools in the same way.

[TheInvestigator]

Ah sorry! I hadn't paid attention to the topic so yes, my calculation won't apply to primary school!! Sorry!!! Morning brain...

[millimat]

This is why I'm confused! I'm assuming it's term time only so overall is not as good pay as it first appears.

[millimat]

But I got to the same amount as @superram which equates to £381 per week. That will be before tax etc won't it.

[MillicentMartha]

I work in a school for full time hours, ie 37 hours a week, but term time only and I get 85% of FT salary to take into account school holidays. I don't do insets.

30.75 is 83% of 37. You'll get 83% of 85% of £26420, which is £18,660 approx, divided by 12 is £1,555 per month. Very slightly more if you are contracted to do insets.

[MillicentMartha]

I'd say £19,060 if you do insets.

[millimat]

It's a minefield!
