Salary calculation?

[Teachymummy]

Hi can someone work out or give me a calculation please for working out a TA salary. I'm currently doing my TA training and have seen a job Im considering applying for but I need to know the take home pay.

It's (just under ) 25000 pro rata and it's for 15 hours.
So how much would I get "in my hand" each month?

I know TAs don't get paid for holidays but do I get paid in the holidays?

Also is going on a school visit a thing for TAs or just teacher posts?

Your salary will be spread over 12 equal monthly payments.

Does it say the £25,000 is for FTE (40hrs I think), but the salary is prorata for 15hours?

If so then gross salary will be (15/40)*25000 = £9375p.a.

So 12 monthly payments of £781.25. Take home pay will be less, depending on what pension/tax/NI deductions are, etc.

I think.

This isn't an easy thing to answer accurately but I can give you an idea:

Re holidays you're entitled to at least 5.6 weeks paid statutory holidays per year. The school might pay more but this is the minimum. That means your pay will be based on 39 (ish?) weeks that you're in school plus at least 5.6 weeks holiday as a proportion of 52 weeks in the year - so that's 44.6/52 = 85.7%
Then you need to factor in that you only work 15 hours per week. For support staff contracts that's usually out of 37 hours per week so it would then be 85.7% x 15/37 = 34.8%. Sometimes they consider it in terms of teacher hours - 32.5 per week so that would be better for you if they do.
That means your gross pay would be 34.8% of £25k = £8,700. Unless you have some other income you wouldn't pay tax or NI on that. You might contribute to a pension scheme but if not then typically you are paid over 12 months (even though you're not at work some months) so would get about £725 per month.

Hope that helps!

Of course the best thing to do would be to ask them exactly what the actual pay is. They should tell you.

Thanks both, it's really not alot once I add on travel time etc. it's 5 mornings so will be a juggle with dropoff of my own DC but doable I think.

I'll think about it!
