Believe I am being underpaid whilst on SMP

Can someone please help work out if I am underpaid this month during SMP or point me in the right direction to get the correct amount. Gross figure per month £1250 (get paid monthly last day of each month) I work 3 days a week.

started maternity leave 5th May, I am entitled to the basic SMP of 90% for 6 weeks and 33 weeks at £194.32

My employer has paid me a total gross figure of £620 which is less than half of my usual gross figure. They are telling me their software has calculated this amount and they believe it to be correct but I can’t work out how 90% of my wage has become less than half.

620 looks close to basic SMP and certainly not 90% which is around £1120.
