Pro Rata Salary Calculations

SUGGESTED

Hi

I have an employee who received a pay rise effective on the 17th May.  So far I have 3 different methods of calculating his monthly salary and they all have different totals.

Is there a standard calculation that should be used to pro rata a payrise received half way through the month?

Thanks.

    Hi Laura,

    The standard method of calculating a pro-rata salary for a leaver is to:

    Divide the employee’s annual salary by the number of pay periods in the year. Then, divide this number by the number of days in the pay period – this gives you the employee’s daily amount. You can then multiply this rate per day by the number of days worked in the period you’re paying the employee for.
