Frequently asked questions

How is a prorated salary calculated?

Divide the annual salary by the total work days, then multiply by the days worked. A $60,000 salary for 130 of 260 work days is $30,000.

When is prorating used?

It applies when someone starts or leaves partway through a pay period, works part of a year, or takes unpaid time, so pay matches the portion actually worked.
