To ask for help to work this out?

[xyz123x]

I’m trying to calculate what my next wage will be so I can plan my budget.

I have tried used The Salary Calculator.co.uk but I don’t know if I am putting in the overtime right. Can someone help me with the rough figures please?

Salary p/a £20430 (pre tax)
tax code 1233l

Worked 3 days on double time over Christmas - 20.5 hours

Also did 2.5 hours at normal rate (x1)

receiving one off amount of £100 also this month.

I think it’s the double time that is confusing me as not sure if putting in x2 on the salary calculator is the right thing to do, wouldn’t this mean triple my salary if that makes sense?

I think you'd receive around £1750 in the bank?

@Renlea It's just confusing as on the salary calculator asks me to input overtime - so is that at 1 or 2 times my normal rate? If so, what would I input single time if it's not x1?

Oh hang on actually, so you get a standard salary then you get paid extra for the hours quoted above? If you're paid extra for the hours above then yes maybe it is double for the double ones, even though technically that's triple? Because if you're adding extra for the 2.5 at normal rate, you need to add extra but double for the 20.5 hours. Maybe about £1900?

Comes out around 1800 when I did it

@Renlea yes, standard salary then paid an extra days wage on top if that makes sense?..

@OnlyFannys Did you use the calculator? What overtime did you put in?

I did 20.5 at 2 times rate and 2.5 at 1 times rate but I have no idea if that's right

I forgot about the extra 100 tho

Is the 100 a bonus? With that it says 1866

@OnlyFannys I did that too but then wasn't sure if x2 on top of salary would be correct?

No I think you are doing it right, are you getting the same figure?

Yes £1866, it must be correct x2 because you are doing x1 for the normal rate. So all hours quoted must be above your normal salary. Did you work for example 37.5 hours each week, then a 2.5 x1, and a 20.5 x2? If so, it's definitely x2 in the calculator x

@OnlyFannys I'm getting £1922

Heres what I get

@Renlea I work 32.5 hours a week, equal to 6.5 hours a day, 3 of them over Xmas was double pay

Ah ok on the 32.5 hour week it gives me the figure of 1914

It won't be what we have worked about above then, hang on I'll work it out x

It will be more like £1746 because those shifts were not on extra shifts, they were part of your working week but paid at double. So the overtime would be added as single time. Because you're already being paid 1 lot of them. If they were additional to your 32.5 hours they'd be entered as double because you're not already being paid for them x
