Working out take home pay from pro rata salary

[Samila]

Hi there

Am finding this all a bit mind boggling so any help appreciated!

Just trying to work out my take home salary each month.

Have seen a TA job advertised in a school down south.

Salary states £6,000 pro rata. The job is 12.5 hours a week and term time only. It is also a fixed contract (1 year).

I have read that teachers and TAs are now entitled to around 5 weeks holiday entitlement if I have understood correctly - assume this applies to those on a 1 year fixed contract also?

Is anyone able to work out what my monthly salary will be??

Assuming I wont be paying any tax or NI due to my take home salary being under the threshold?

Please help!

Thanks

Thank you although this website doesn’t seem to help with the pro rata aspect.

That salary must already be the pro rata figure, surely? Otherwise you would be earning £2.5k (even ignoring the term-time aspect), so £200 a month. £50 a week? That's only £25 for a 6-hour day, that's not even close to minimum wage. £6k must be the full figure. At least then you get £500 pm/£120 per week/£60 per day /£10 an hour. Still not great but better.

I think the 6k is the pro rated salary

I think £6k is the salary on offer.

As a guide, if a full time TA works 30 hours a week at 37 weeks their salary pro ratas down to approximately £14k ish. So if you are doing 12 or so hours it's slightly less than half of this figure, which is about right.

Another one saying 6k will be the salary on offer.
TAs may be very poorly paid, but not quite as low as 6k for a FT job.

You are right about no tax or NI.
There may be a compulsory pension contribution - not sure if there is a lower earnings limit for the pension scheme. I contribute just under 6%

Also OP your holiday allowance will be worked in to how the pro rata is calculated and your contract should run from 1 September 23 to 31 August 24. You will be paid every month. Give the school a ring. We have people get in touch all the time with questions they won't mind.

Thanks so much for all your responses.

If i have understood correctly and it was what I had assumed, the £6k pro rata salary works out at approx £500 a month. Basically 6k divided by 12?

Is this the majority consensus?

The alternative i was fearing was that it was 6k if it were 52 weeks, less as its term time only (39 weeks)

The job is 12.5 hours a week as TA so hope £500 sounds about right per month as opposed to £350 per month. This is assuming I am paid every month including those months not worked.

Thanks all

Yes, 500/month.
Maybe minus a pension contribution - but that would be max £30 in my region. I don't know if it is different elsewhere or with an academy rather than LEA contract. It will be small tho.

That £500 i will receive for months not worked as well?

how much would my hourly rate work out roughly??

just conscious i will be working only 39 weeks out of 52 with it being term time

£12.30/hour

Thank you all this is super helpful

Yes. You get paid the same amount every month throughout the year. You don't go without during the school holidays.
