How NHS part-time pay is calculated
NHS part-time pay is pro rata: you're paid the same hourly rate as a full-time colleague on your band, scaled to the hours you work. Standard full-time NHS hours are 37.5 per week, so if you work 30 hours you're paid 30 ÷ 37.5 = 0.8 (80%) of the full-time salary.
To use this calculator, work out your pro rata annual salary first (full-time band salary × your fraction of full-time hours) and enter that figure. Everything else — tax, National Insurance, pension and any student loan — is then applied to your actual earnings.
Because Income Tax and National Insurance have tax-free thresholds, part-time staff typically keep a higher percentage of their pay than full-time colleagues on the same band.
