I think I've been underpaid for months!

[Scarlett555]

My full time salary is £46,100 for 37 hours a week.

At the beginning of the year I reduced my hours to 32 per week making my pro rata salary around £39,800

I pay 7% into my pension and £90 to add my partner to the private health insurance.

Latest payslip was £1,990 per month.

Until this month I was claiming £243 p/m in childcare vouchers and my pay was around £1,850 p/m

Mentioned this to a good friend and she thought I should be bringing home at least £2,300 p/m even with the deductions.

Tried an online calculator thing and she seems to be right!

Is this definitely right before I go into work all guns blazing tomorrow? Any payroll people?

There is no mention of childcare there? This reduces your taxable salary as well

Plus your pension contributions have been lower than they should have been so that needs corrected.

Pension should be corrected when the back pay is paid.

The op no longer takes childcare vouchers. It’s in the very first post.

Your medical cover should be deducted from your tax code, not from your salary, that's the usual way it is done, so the personal allowance is £12500, then your medical cover should be deducted from that, looking at your tax code it looks like it has been deducted. Check your latest notice of coding.

just a side note your total annual leave should not change each year - you should get a pro-rata amount compared to FT which should include a pro-rata bank holiday allowance - not if you are here you get it but not if you don't methodology.

Not necessarily. If it is free of charge then yes, it is a taxable benefit and would affect the OP's tax code. However, many businesses these days allow employees to buy things such as additional medical cover that are not given free. The fact it is described as a "private medical upgrade" suggests that is what has happened here - there is a basic entitlement which is free and is taxed but the OP is also paying £90.53 per month for additional cover.

The figures they've come up with look about right. I make it £2290.97 per month take home, so just a touch more than their figure.
