Prorated salary calculator

Work out the salary for a partial month — for a new joiner, a leaver or unpaid days — using the method your company applies.

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.

FAQ

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.
