What's a salary of £21,600 if I go to 3days

[whatstheanswerplease]

I'm currently full time (35hrs) on a salary of 21,600 however I'm keen to go to 3 days (21 hrs) how much would this work out at per month ? Any idea how I'd work this out

£12,960

21600 divided by 52 divided by 35 to get your hourly rate then times by 21 and times by 52.

Gross salary of £12,960

21600/5 days the *3 days

21,600 divided by 52 weeks = 415.38 (per week)

415.38 divided by 35 hours = 11.86 / hour

11.86 x 21 hrs = 249.23 per week

249.23 x 52 weeks = £12,960 per year on 21hrs

Not taking into account tax/NI/pension - only a guess from the numbers you’ve given.

Sorry I didn’t read your initial post right your yearly salary would be £12960 so divided by 12 would give you a gross salary of £1080. There won’t be much tax on that if anything (can’t recall the thresholds).

But stick it in here and it will tell you www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php

Work out your gross salary as above then put this into the ‘what will I earn? Website for take home pay.

Aww thanks so for all
Your help ! Appreciate that

One other q ... if you work 3 days (not set days) how does that work with bank holidays ie. If say Easter Monday is a bank holiday would you get the Monday off plus your normal days off or would Monday come out of one of your days off for that week. Does that makes sense?

Your leave would be counted in hours. If you choose to only work two days one week for a bh you lose 7 hours. If you work three days you lose nothing.

Where I work bank holidays are pro rata, whether or not you would usually work that day. So it’d be 7h off if FT, but for you it’d be 3/5 of that, so 4.2h leave entitlement per bank holiday. On a year with 8 bank holidays, you’d get 25.6h off as bank holiday entitlement

I'm being a bit silly, so I apologise @LIZS - so my business will be closed on a bank holiday so I cannot work it but on my full time contract I get 22 days holidays plus bank holidays so I guess what I'm unsure off is ... can my boss use that bank holiday as one of my days off for that week or would that mean that on that week, that would be an additional day off ?

Either. Your leave allocation would include a prorata number of bh hours.

Different employers have different ways of handling bank holiday calculations for part-time workers. They should always work out the same, but in my experience my former employers method left me shortchanged over a christmas closure. My current employer allocates everyone 36 days off and that includes bank holidays. Part-time workers get a pro-rata equivalent of that calculated in hours. If a bank holiday falls on my non-working day it makes no difference, but if it falls on a working day I need to use some of my leave to take it off. TBH I think it could be more complicated if you don't have fixed days, but you'd really need to speak to your employer to find out how they do it.

It's really straightforward for anyone on part-time hours who has a set work pattern no matter how bizarre that pattern is.

Some years they 'win', some years they 'lose' depending on which days bank holidays fall.

The difficulty will be your lack of set work days.

It's something you would really want to clarify before changing your work hours/pattern.

If you have your NWD as Mondays and Fridays you will generally have more choice over when you use your holiday hours.

But if a BH, says, NYD happened to fall on a Tuesday then it would cost you 7 hours of your leave allocation, which would include a portion of hours allocated to you all in one pot.

And if I didn’t work set days then I’d just make the BH one of my NWD’s and work my three days elsewhere in the week.

I’m 4 days a week - technically Mon-Fri 9-5 but in reality completely random 🤣 Our annual leave is in hours, and I get a slight adjustment in that allocation to account for the pro rata PHs. So for example: say my annual leave is 204 hrs, and I then get -6.02 or something on my holiday card so that I then just take all PHs like my f/t colleagues. It eats very slightly into my annual leave, but it’s worth it to still get those days off. If a PH falls on a non-working day (or I have to work it), I take it later in the week or at a time that suits. However, we’re usually open so it’s not an entirely comparable situation.
Remember the principle that p/t workers must be treated the same as f/t workers 👍 You shouldn’t be missing out on PH that your f/t colleagues benefit from.

Where I worked, for PT - We had two allocations of leave - one pro rata hours for Annual Leave and one pro rata for bank holidays. If a Monday was one of the days worked and it was a Bank Holiday I would have to take the bank holiday hours off those pro rata hours.

Now - If you work part time hours, same hours 5 days a week, there is no 'downside' for you.

HOWEVER if you work only 3 full days and don't work the other two, then you need to ensure that you do not normally work on Bank Holiday days ( in the UK there are far more Monday BH's). Your 'day off' will be more Pro Rata hours than for Full timers ( you'll be taking off 1/3 of your working week, while FT people are only taking 1/5 off their working week) so some of those Monday hours will need to come off your Annual Leave and not just your BH hours, so you will have less AL left to take when you want to take it

So 3 days Tuesday to Thursday is your best scenario.

In my work place there are a mixture of term time only and full time staff, we all get 20 annual leave days plus 8 Bank Holidays so we get a total of 28 days leave.
