Why Is My Final Payslip Pro Rata? UK Leaver Pay Guide
A final payslip can be lower than a normal one when employment ends partway through the pay period. The part month salary calculator estimates gross leaver pay through your final employment date.
Estimate the salary portion
For a calendar-day estimate:
normal pay for the period × employed calendar days ÷ calendar days in the period
The final employment date is included in this calculator. Your contract or payroll policy may prescribe another method, so use the result to check—not replace—the employer’s calculation.
Review separate final-pay items
Your final payslip may also include accrued holiday pay, an adjustment for holiday taken beyond entitlement, bonus or commission already earned, benefits adjustments and normal PAYE deductions. These items are separate from the pro rata salary amount.
Ask for a breakdown
Compare gross salary with the calculator before looking at take-home pay. If it differs, ask payroll to confirm the pay period, included employment dates and divisor. For questions about holiday entitlement, use the pro rata annual leave calculator.
