NHS banding pay help

[TidyOmlette]

Anyone good at working out rates of pay or monthly take home roughly?

I’m trying to help my friend figure out what her wage would be. She’s just started a band 4 working 18.75 hours. All in hours so no enhancements and no PH pay I believe.

We have tried about 10 different ways of working it out and each answer is always different 🙈

Okay, as far as I can see, the new Band 4 bottom point is £23709 for full time. Looks like your friend is doing 50% hours so her salary will be £11854.

I used www.moneysavingexpert.com/tax-calculator/

and it seems that take home will be £965 a month not counting any pension contributions.

This is the new band information:

What are they confused about as it looks very simple.

Scottish nhs band 4 is £12.15 per hour x 18.75 = £227 a week or £983 a month. She wont pay tax (too low) but will pay £22 a month National Insurance. She will also be eligable to join the pension at 5.2% deduction.

Thanks everyone.

@CliftonGreenYork she’s confused because neither of us work within the NHS and every time she calculated the hourly rate it changed for her. She was using different online methods and people she asked who all work more hours I believe kept telling her the hourly rate was different. She’s leaving a job for this role and is panicking slightly I think.

As far as I understand it's a standard 37.5 hours for full time NHS but for all i know, some roles might be different. Have they told her anything about the salary/FTE? Hope it all goes well :)

She will pay 5% pension on that salary so that needs deducting

You need net salary calculator. You’ll be able to find it on google. Put in the salary and click on pro-rata for 18.75 hours. It will let you put in tax code, student loan, childcare vouchers, pension deductions etc. It has always worked mine out within about £5.

£23709 is the band 4 full time salary for a new start so 18.5 hours that would be £11696.44.

Assuming 5% pension contribution, earn £11,696 in 2021/2022 and you'll take home £10,856. This means £905 in your pocket a month. Over the year you'll pay £0 income tax and £255 in National Insurance.

The hourly rate would be £12.15 before tax (£11696 / 52 = £224.92 per week x 18.5hours = £12.15 per hour)

@ElephantOfRisk I don’t think there as been much communication since her interview and job offer. Everything was done over MS teams due to covid.

Thanks everyone for your help. I’ve sent her everything

Where's this £12.15 hourly rate.
I am a band 4 English nhs. My hourly rate is £11.20 and will stay that for 3 years . My pension is 7.6%.
I earn just under £1500 pm . That's working 37.5 hours.
Nursing associate.

Apologies just seen Scotland
