Help! How to work out term time only pay?

9 replies

saymw · 24/03/2023 19:26

Last week I was offered a job at a school.

Hours are 9am to 11.20am, 4 days a week.

Pay is £10ph

What would be my take home per month? Assuming the school have a system that most schools do now, where staff are paid evenly over 12 months?

Thanks so much!

Just trying to work it all out as I get carers allowance and need to notify them too

9 1/3 hours per week, times your hourly rate, times 38 weeks a year, divided by 12 months.

£295 a month.

It depends how many weeks holiday you get and whether you're working PD days. Usually you'll be paid for between 45-47 weeks per year where I live but other areas may be different.

In my case you'd do your hourly rate x hours worked per week.
Multiply the answer by the number of weeks you are paid for.
Divide by 12 for your monthly pay.

There may be holiday pay

Thank you

I suppose I'll have to wait for my contract to come through before I can sort anything with Carer's allowance

Bit of a niche area to know about but I so hope they don't make me an irregular earner and make me jump through hoops by sending in pay slips every time Sad

You'll get holiday pay so will be paid for about 44 weeks a year averaged over 12 months.

Assuming you're over 21? You'll get at least NMW which is £10.42 from 1 April.

Is it 38 or 39 weeks?

Holiday is 5.6 weeks.

It'll be around £345 a month.

9.3 hours a week.
38 school weeks (maybe 39 if plus 5).
5.6 weeks holiday.
Min 43.6 weeks pay x 9.3 hours x 10 £/h.
Just over 4k a year / 340/month (minus pension)

I work in school, supply TA (used to be full time, contracted but caring took over)
You can earn up to £572 a month and claim carers, after any NI/pension contributions are taken out . I have recently reclaimed... I tried to go back more days but it just wasn't possible. I too am hoping I don't have to submit payslips every month as it's a pain when I am never going to earn over the limit!

I think you will be under the minimium weekly earnings for national.insuramce credits towards a state pension. Therefore if you are going to loose carers allowance be careful about your state pension entitlement (I don't think you'll loose it on these earnings, but not 100% as had too much wine and doing maths in head).
