How it's calculated
Prorated salary = monthly salary ÷ days in the basis × days worked.
The basis can be the calendar days of the month, its working days, or a fixed 30 days. The method may be set by law, contract or company policy — use the same one consistently.
Results are estimates from simple formulas, not tax or legal advice. Statutory rules (minimum wage, overtime premiums, tax) differ by country and contract — check the official source.

Which proration method is correct?
There is no universal rule. Some countries or contracts prescribe one; otherwise companies choose a method and apply it consistently. Check your employment contract and local rules.
Are public holidays counted?
The working-days method here counts Monday to Friday only and does not remove public holidays. Adjust the days worked if your policy treats holidays differently.
