What this estimate includes

The hours-based calculation assumes the same hourly contractual rate and the same paid weeks across full-time and part-time work. It excludes term-time holiday-pay calculations, overtime, irregular-hours accrual, pension and student loans.

Method and assumptions

Annual pro rata gross pay = full-time annual salary × your weekly hours ÷ full-time weekly hours. The tool then applies standard annual England/Wales/Northern Ireland tax and employee NI, rather than multiplying full-time net pay by the hours fraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers based on official HMRC rules and statutory guidance.

No. Allowances and tax bands make net pay non-linear. First calculate the part-time gross salary, then apply the relevant tax and deductions.

Annual employment estimate

Use the stated tax code and gross pay to compare employment deductions in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Monthly, weekly and daily figures divide an annual result; they do not reconstruct cumulative payroll.

The main pension input models salary sacrifice. Irregular pay, benefits in kind, multiple employments and a different pension method can change a real payslip. Use the Scottish tool for Scottish employment income.
