What Is a Pro Rata Salary?

A pro rata salary is a proportion of a full-time annual salary, adjusted to reflect the hours or days you actually work. If you work part-time, term-time only, or reduced hours, your employer calculates your pay “pro rata” — meaning in proportion to a full-time equivalent (FTE) role. For example, if a full-time role pays £30,000 a year for 37.5 hours a week, and you work 20 hours a week, your pro rata salary would be £16,000 a year. Our calculator does this maths for you instantly, whether you’re comparing a job offer, checking a payslip, or planning a move to part-time hours.

How to Calculate Pro Rata Salary (Formula Section)

The Pro Rata Salary Formula

Pro Rata Salary= 
(Full-Time Salary ÷ Full-Time Hours) × Your Hours

Step-by-step example:

  1. Full-time salary: £35,000 per year
  2. Full-time hours: 37.5 hours per week
  3. Your hours: 22.5 hours per week
  4. Hourly rate: £35,000 ÷ 37.5 = £933.33 per hour… (worked as weekly/annual rate)
  5. Pro rata salary: £35,000 × (22.5 ÷ 37.5) = £21,000 per year
    You don’t need to do this by hand — just enter your numbers above and get an instant result.

Term-Time & School Pro Rata Pay

How Do You Work Out Term-Time Pro Rata Salary?

Term-time pro rata pay is slightly different from standard part-time pro rata, because it accounts for weeks actually worked across the school year (usually around 38–39 weeks, plus holiday pay entitlement) rather than a simple weekly hours ratio. Our calculator supports both standard part-time and term-time calculations, so school staff, teaching assistants, and term-time-only employees can get an accurate figure — not just a rough estimate.

Term-time pro rata pay is based on the number of weeks you work across the year (including any holiday entitlement), not just your weekly hours. Select "term-time" in the calculator to get an accurate figure.
