1. What is the NHS Part-Time Pay Calculator?

The NHS Part-Time Pay Calculator helps estimate earnings for part-time NHS staff based on hourly rate, weekly hours, and contract duration. It provides a quick way to calculate gross pay before deductions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple pay equation:

Where:

• \( Hourly\ Rate \) — NHS pay band hourly rate in GBP
• \( Hours\ per\ Week \) — Contracted weekly hours

Explanation: This calculates gross pay by multiplying the hourly rate by the number of hours worked each week, then by the number of weeks in the pay period.
