📖What is it?

For informational/educational purposes only. Not legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney for your situation. Pro rata salary is the proportional pay an employee earns when they do not work a full year � for example when starting mid-year, leaving early, or working part-time.

🎯How to use

Enter the full annual salary for the role, the number of working days the person actually worked, and the standard annual working days (usually 260). The calculator outputs the proportional salary owed.

💡Example scenario

An employee with a $60,000 annual salary joins on 1 May and works 120 days before year-end. Pro rata salary = $60,000 � 120/260 = $27,692. Their daily rate is $230.77.

🏆Pro tip

Different companies count working days differently (some use calendar days or 365). Agree on the method in writing before the calculation is applied to avoid payroll disputes.
