If full time is 40 or 35 hours
The full-time week changes the hourly rate and every pro rata figure. Check the job advert or contract. The same £24,000 at three common full-time weeks:
How this is worked out
pro rata salary = £24,000 × your hours ÷ full-time hours
Example: £24,000 × 25 ÷ 37.5 = £16,000.00 a year. Monthly is that ÷ 12, weekly is ÷ 52. The hourly rate is £24,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 37.5 = £12.31.
Holiday follows the same fraction. Part-time staff get the same 5.6 weeks of statutory leave, measured in their own working days: 3 days a week gives 5.6 × 3 = 16.799999999999997 days. The holiday entitlement calculator gives your exact figure.
Whatever the sum says, the hourly rate must not fall below the National Minimum Wage for your age (£12.71 for 21 and over from 1 April 2026). Current rates are on gov.uk.
£24,000 pro rata: common questions
Is £24,000 pro rata the same as £24,000 a year?
No. "£24,000 pro rata" means £24,000 is the full-time salary and you get the share that matches your hours. On 25 hours against a 37.5-hour week you would earn £16,000 a year, not £24,000. You only get the full £24,000 if you work the full-time hours.
How much is £24,000 pro rata for 3 days a week?
£24,000 × 3 ÷ 5 = £14,400 a year. That is £1,200 a month or £277 a week before tax, assuming full time is 5 days.
Does pro rata pay change my hourly rate?
No. The hourly rate stays the same and only the number of paid hours changes. £24,000 for a 37.5-hour week is £12.31 an hour whether you work 37.5 hours or 20. Paying part-time staff a lower hourly rate for the same job may be unlawful less favourable treatment.
