What is the Pro Rata Salary Calculator?
This calculator finds the salary payable when someone works only part of a month, for example in a joining or exit month. Enter the monthly salary, the days in the month used by your policy and the days worked. It shows the per-day rate and the pro rata amount.
How it works
The per-day rate is the monthly salary divided by the days in the month. The pro rata salary is the per-day rate multiplied by the days worked. Days worked above the days in the month are capped at the month length, and a month length of zero gives zero.
How to use it
- Enter the full monthly salary.
- Enter the days in the month as per your policy.
- Enter the days actually worked or paid.
- Read the per-day rate and the salary payable.
Pro Rata Salary Calculator — FAQ
Should I count weekends and holidays as days worked?
That depends on your policy. Many employers pay for the whole calendar period of service, so enter days on the basis your payroll uses.
What if I join in the middle of the month?
Count the days from the joining date to month end, including the joining day if your company does, and enter that as days worked.
Can I enter half days?
Yes. Decimals such as 10.5 are accepted and are multiplied by the per-day rate like any other value.
