Help me figure out my wages - pretty please

[MrsSkeffington]

Hello all

Can you guys help me here? I've been offered a job that is approx 20,400 a year based on full time hours. I will be working 30 hours.

This job is term time only. What would my take home be a month with the extra holiday etc be? Full time is 40 hours per week.

Thanks so much is anyone has the patience to figure this out!

So 20,400 is 40 hours per peek 52 weeks of the year with statitory holiday or is it 40 hours per week term time only.

Does this help?

Hello - thanks so much

However that says 18 hours a week and I work 30. It won't let me change it

Sorry I've not explained it well here

The full time job is 40 hours per week. I will only be working 30. The full time salary is 20400.

I will be term time only. So that also needs to be taken into account

You need to prorate the fte salary from 40 hours to 30 & prorate it to term time only (although you will get holiday added to those weeks).

Take home depends on any student loans & pension schemes.

£20400 per annum for a 40 hour week is about £9.80 an hour. Isn’t minimum wage £10.40 per hour? Or is it something to do with it being term time only so you don’t work school holidays but still get paid in them. So it’s more than £9.80 per hour.

It'll be around £1100 pcm before tax, pension and NI

You would earn 30/40, or 3/4, of £20400 as you're working 0.75 of full time hours if you weren't term time only. This is £15300.

Term time only is 39 weeks a year, but you're entitled to be paid for at least 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year including bank holidays. Therefore, (£15300 / 52) x (39 + 5.6) is £13120, divided by 12 for monthly pay.

So if you were AYR on 30 hours you would get 15.3k, do you know what holiday allowance you get?

@Feliciacat you've based that on working 52 weeks of the yr. The OP will work 38 but paid for approx 44/45 weeks.

@curtainsfringe oh thank you! I was just concerned for a minute. But that makes sense :)

However due to minimum wage for 40 hours now being £21673 either TTO is already account for, or it's minimum wage but a 37.5 hours week with eg 9am-5pm hours and a half hour unpaid lunch break.

In which case, 30 hours is actually 0.8 of a full week, so you'll earn £14000 approx which is £1170 pcm gross.

Holiday is 33 days inclusive of bank holidays

So was I then fleciacat!

1/2 unpaid lunch breaks are quite common in schools.

hour!

So we are talking approx £1100 a month but term time only? I currently eat £1060 so it's a little jump but more time off

Here's the pro-rata salary calculator

I've figured that it's £15300 a year

Yes - if TTO (term-time only) has already been accounted for in the salary, then it's a simple (30 ÷ 40) x 20400 ÷ 12 to give your monthly gross.

If TTO hasn't been accounted for then it's either £1100ish if the work week is really 40 hours FTE (full-time equivalent) but that gives a salary below minimum wage, or most likely IMHO is £1170 with 37.5 hours being FTE.

£15300 per year assumes term-time only - being paid for 44.6 weeks a year of which you work 39 and get minimum paid holiday of 5.6 weeks a year - has already been accounted for in the quoted salary. You need to find out if that's the case.

Yes the salary does account for term time only

Then it's super simple - you're working 30 out of a possible 40 hours, ie 0.75 of a working week, so £15300 is right. 🤗Sounds like a nice jump in pay for you.

But that's is with the holiday entitlement of 33 days - I'd now be going to term time only you see. So it could end up costing me a lot

You said term-time only was accounted for in the quoted salary, so I'm really confused.

I've given you sums to pro-rata it to term-time only, or not if that's already been done, so it's up to you to ask HR for clarification.

Honestly, the worst case scenario is £1100 pcm, to be paid in 12 equivalent instalments year round. That's based on the £20400 for full-time being for 52 weeks a year and 40 hours a week, which would be an illegal hourly rate.

Sorry so we are paid for 33 days a year holiday, irrespective of hours worked etc.
