How it works
Find the full pay for one period by dividing the yearly salary by the number of pay periods in a year. Then multiply by the days worked and divide by the days in the full period.
Use calendar days if pay follows the calendar, or working days if you are paid for the days you work. Your employer's pay policy decides which one applies.
Worked example
A yearly salary of $60,000.00 with 12 of 22 days worked in the period gives $2,727.27, against a full period of $5,000.00.
Questions
Calendar days or working days?
Use calendar days if pay runs by the calendar, and working days if you are paid for the days you work. Ask payroll which one applies to you.
Does this include tax?
No. The figure is before tax and deductions.
What if I worked part of a day?
Switch to hours. Enter the hours worked and the full period's hours, and the same method gives the share.
