About Calculate My Pay

Our Mission

At Calculate My Pay, we believe everyone deserves to understand exactly how much they earn and how their salary compares to full-time positions. Too many workers—especially part-time staff, contractors, and those on variable hours—struggle to work out their true hourly rate or compare job offers fairly.

We created Calculate My Pay to solve this problem. Our free, easy-to-use calculators give you instant, accurate breakdowns of your salary, including tax, National Insurance, and comparisons to full-time equivalent earnings.

Whether you're negotiating a new contract, considering a career change, or simply want to understand your payslip better, we're here to help you make informed decisions about your financial future.

What We Do

Calculate My Pay provides free, professional-grade salary calculators designed specifically for UK workers. Our tools help you:

Calculate Pro Rata Salaries

Our flagship Pro Rata Calculator helps part-time workers, contractors, and anyone on flexible hours understand their earnings. Enter your salary (hourly, weekly, or monthly), working hours, and weeks per year, and we'll show you:

• Your earnings across different time periods (annual, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly)
• Full-time equivalent salary for fair comparisons
• Take-home pay after Income Tax and National Insurance
• Whether you're being paid above the National Minimum Wage

Understand UK Tax and National Insurance

Our calculators use the latest UK tax bands and National Insurance rates to give you accurate deductions. We break down exactly how much tax you'll pay based on:

• Personal Allowance (£12,570 tax-free)
• Basic Rate (20% on £12,571 - £50,270)
• Higher Rate (40% on £50,271 - £125,140)
• Additional Rate (45% over £125,140)
• National Insurance contributions at 8% and 2%

Compare Job Offers Fairly

When you're comparing a part-time role with a full-time position, annual salaries don't tell the whole story. Our calculators show you the hourly rate for both options, helping you make like-for-like comparisons and choose the opportunity that truly offers better compensation.

Verify Minimum Wage Compliance

Our tools automatically check whether your hourly rate meets the National Minimum Wage for your age group, helping ensure you're being paid legally and fairly.
