Basic Formula
Your Part-Time Salary = (Your Hours ÷ Full-Time Hours) × Full-Time Salary
Example:
Full-time salary: £30,000
Full-time hours: 37.5
Your hours: 20
Calculation: (20 ÷ 37.5) × £30,000 = £16,000 per year
Monthly Pay Calculator
Monthly Part-Time Pay = Annual Part-Time Salary ÷ 12
Example:
Annual part-time salary: £16,000
Monthly pay = £16,000 ÷ 12 = £1,333.33 per month
