1. What is the Part Time Wages Calculation?

The Part Time Wages calculation determines the prorated salary for part-time employees based on their annual full-time salary and the hours they've worked compared to standard full-time hours.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• \( \text{Annual Salary} \) — Full-time annual salary in USD
• \( \text{Hours Worked} \) — Actual hours worked by the part-time employee
• \( \text{Full Time Hours} \) — Standard full-time hours (typically 2080 for 40 hours/week × 52 weeks)

Explanation: The equation calculates what portion of the full-time salary should be paid based on the proportion of hours worked compared to full-time hours.

3. Importance of Prorated Salary Calculation

Details: Accurate prorated salary calculation ensures fair compensation for part-time employees and helps employers budget correctly for labor costs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the full-time annual salary in USD, actual hours worked, and standard full-time hours (default is 2080). All values must be positive numbers.

Q3: How should overtime be handled?
A: Overtime pay should be calculated separately according to local labor laws.

Q4: Can this be used for temporary or contract workers?
