To ask someone to work of the full time equivalent of my salary

WhatTheWhoTheWhatThe · 30/12/2021 20:54

Because I can’t bloody figure it out and no matter how many times and methods I try the figure I come up with does not match what my manager told me it was!! So I’m wondering if they’ve got it wrong?

There’s loads of online calculators to work out a pro rate of full time but can’t find the reverse and the formulas I’ve read to use haven’t helped me either.

Anyhoo if I currently earn 30k doing 37.5 hours a week over 39 weeks a year what would I be earning if I was full time?

And god bless you in advance for working it out!!!

Presuming your weekly hours remain the same and you just increase to a 52 week year, I make it at £40,000.

BluebellsGreenbells · 30/12/2021 20:57

30,000 / 52 x 39 gives you £22,500

Less tax at 20%

My guess is around £1500 a month over 12 months

SwearyMaclary · 30/12/2021 20:58

39 weeks is 75% of 52 weeks so your 52 week equivalent salary would be £40k.

Unless holiday allowance is being factored in somehow. Do you get holiday allowance during those 39 weeks?

RedskyThisNight · 30/12/2021 20:58

Just a general question, roughly you work for 3/4 of the year, so I'd expect your full time salary to be around 40K.

If it's a school based job and you're not allowed holiday in term time, it will be more complicated than that though.

110APiccadilly · 30/12/2021 20:58

I'm assuming that the weeks you don't work don't include any paid leave, and that you're talking about 40 hours a week as full time. In which case, you'd earn 30,000 (50/39) (40/37.5) = 43,243 (to the nearest £).

BluebellsGreenbells · 30/12/2021 20:58

Unless your contract pays holiday pay usually 4 weeks? So divide by 52 x 43 weeks?

Thank you 🙏 that’s roughly what I came up with but my manager said it was 34k which frankly would have me looking elsewhere 🤣

Do you get annual leave to take within your 39 weeks or is your annual leave taken in the remaining we is of the year?

Merryoldgoat · 30/12/2021 20:59

Is it a term time only job? How much leave is included?

TTO calculations are a bit more complicated than the above.

What are the normal full time hours and holiday allowance?

BluebellsGreenbells · 30/12/2021 21:00

Sorry missed read that I get about £40K plus holiday pay

Yes I get 28 days (pro prorata)

I agree it's £40000
39/52 = 0.75
30000/0.75 = 40000

28 days but I’m term time only so it’s all just factored in somewhere along the line!

Can they give you an absolute hourly rate, to make it clear?

BlackAndPinkNose · 30/12/2021 21:01

If you were working 39 weeks per year, you would be paid for 39 weeks plus holiday entitlement.

(I'm on a 41 week - term time plus two weeks, contract but get paid for 45.8 weeks to include annual leave.)

So I would guess £30k for 44.6 weeks (adding on statutory 28 days holiday), increased to 52 weeks would be £34,978.

Bloballbovish · 30/12/2021 21:02

Are you in a school? The 13 weeks off include some holiday pay, usually just statutory, so as posters above said that needs to be factored in. So your current pay probably covers about 43-44 weeks a year.

WhatTheWhoTheWhatThe · 30/12/2021 21:03

Sorry to be clear about the holidays I don’t take any leave during my 39 weeks so I just have school holidays off. But my pay factors in 28 days holiday pay. Good I’m confusing myself 🙈

Assume you can't take holiday during your 39 weeks? In which case holiday is added - say four weeks, so you work (39+4)/52 which is about 83% of full time. So £30k is 83%, so your full
Time equivalent £36k.

Merryoldgoat · 30/12/2021 21:03

What is the standard hours for a week if full time? 37.5? 40?

110APiccadilly · 30/12/2021 21:03

And I should learn to check my figures. Obviously there's 52 weeks in a year. And also I stuck that in my stupid phone calculator wrong! I now make it £42,667.

Ok this is closer to what my manager stated I hadn’t really understood how to factor in my holiday allowance.

37.5

I worked it out as £34615

I get 7 weeks holiday/year so I’ve used that as a standard (it might not be!).

You get £30k for 39 weeks. If you were working 45 weeks a year you would be paid £34615 (30k x 0.867)

It means you’re not paid for holidays though which seems a bit odd. Might be worth double checking with your manager in case he/she’s used the same method I have and forgot to in included Holiday pay.

So your £30 salary is for 39 weeks (worked) plus 5 weeks and 3 days (holiday pay)?
liveforsummer · 30/12/2021 21:06

I work 39 weeks (term time) although I get paid for 45 (5 weeks holiday plus public holidays) so your bosses estimation is probably about right
