Frequently asked questions

Which calculator should I use?

To see what you will actually be paid, use the term-time-only pay calculator. If you only know the advertised FTE salary and your hours, the FTE to actual salary tool is quicker. To check holiday pay, use the holiday pay checker, and to weigh up a job offer, use the contract comparison.

Do the calculators include tax?

No. They show gross pay before tax, National Insurance and pension. They cover basic pay only, not overtime or allowances.
