Pro rata salary calculator
A job advert says “£30,000 pro rata”? Here's what you'll actually earn on your hours.
The formula
Pro rata salary = FTE salary × (your hours ÷ full-time hours) × (weeks worked ÷ 52).
For example, £30,000 at 22.5 of 37.5 hours is £30,000 × 0.6 = £18,000 a year. The hourly rate is the same as a full-timer's: £30,000 ÷ (37.5 × 52) = £15.38.

FAQs
What does pro rata mean on a job advert?
It means the salary shown is the full-time equivalent. You're paid in proportion to the hours you actually work.

Yes. UK workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks' paid holiday, pro rata for part-time work, which works out to 5.6 times your usual working week.
