SMP confusion

My 26 weeks full pay has just come to and end and I received my first SMP only paycheck today. My full pay ended on 25 August, so to my understanding, I should have received 5 weeks SMP. I have been paid £451.17. I was taxed £160, paid £41.72 national insurance and £17.37 into my pension. I know SMP isn’t a lot, but I was never expecting it to work out at £90.20 a week. Does anyone know why this is so low?

Five weeks SMP at £184.03 should be around £920, if only 4 weeks it should be £736.12. The tax looks odd too but that will depend on your tax code etc.

What do payroll say?
