Part time pay 0.6 Benefits

[Charl93]

Hello,
I’m a primary school teacher trying to figure out how much roughly I will take home if I return off maternity dropping down to 3 days a week 0.6. I work in England outer London and on M5 on pay scale. Is there anyone willing to share what they roughly take home based on my details? Thank you so much!! :)

Take your FT salary divide by 5 and times by 3 to work out 0.6 rate.

I'm UPS now, but I think it was about £1590 a month after tax etc when I came back on M6. I'm also in outer London.

Surely this can't be what the OP is asking, if she is a teacher?! How to calculate your pay for the new hours then plug it into a calculator for benefit entitlement?

What is the question OP?

But she'll take home quite a bit more than 3/5 of her full-time take home salary due to the way tax works. I think you need to do a salary calculator, OP as even another teacher making exactly the same might take home more or less than you due to factors like student loans - try this one: www.moneysavingexpert.com/tax-calculator/

If you Google 'teacher pay calculator tes' someone has made a fab spreadsheet that works it all out for you.

TES pay calculator

That won't give you anywhere near the correct figure.

Think about it.
You don't pay any tax on the first £12k or so. That is regardless of whether you are earning a FT or PT salary, the figure remains fixed.
Then, if you work 0.6, you are unlikely to be paying student loan payments, which you are on FT.

Google the TES Tafkam pay calculator-I have always found it spot on.

Thank you all. I will definitely try the tea calculator :)

Benefits are on gross pay though so 3/5 of gross will indicate if benefits are payable, though I'm assuming the child's father is contributing too so I doubt you will get benefits

I assumed the op meant the benefits of working part time...not what monetary benefits she’d receive.
Op, I went part time when my son was born 18 years ago and I never went back full time. Best thing I ever did. All of the full time teachers I know who are my age can’t wait to retire, they’re exhausted. I still love my job because I have 2 days a week at home. If you can afford it, do it.

Thank you. I’m just stuck in limbo as to what to do. I would like the 2 days off to spend with my toddler and newborn (not due until august) but just hope I can afford to. Luckily I have a supportive partner.

I think you might be answering a completely different question from what the OP asked.
She wanted to work out her take home pay......

OP I went down to 0.6 when my dc2 was born 23 years ago. It is the best way to do teaching. Much better work life balance. You only work about 33-36 hours a week and can arrange to have your weekends free (or evenings if you prefer). Sooooooo much better and the take home is quite a bit more than 3/5 of FT take home. I'd highly recommend it if you can afford it.
Yes, my pension will be less, but that's a solid trade off for all the benefits from going PT.
