When I see a job post, the salary shown is net or gross? What does pro-rata mean?

Answer 1

In basic terms, pro-rata is normally written if the vacancy is offered as part-time as welll as full time hours.

If the vacancy is £20,000 & you worked full time hours, that would be your salary.

If you only worked 30 at £20,000 pro-rata, you can only your salary to be around £18,000 (these figures as used as an example & therefore aren't the definite amount).

Pro-rata is depending on the hours.

I hope I explained that easily :-)

Answer 2

You are hired at a salary of £20,000 per annum gross for a 40 hour week. From that will be deducted income tax and national insurance to give a net salary. If you are hired part time, you will be paid pro rata, i.e for 20 hrs per week, £10,000, 10 hours per week £5,000 and so on, pro rata.

Answer 3

pro rata usually means that they have detailed the salary for standard hours but there will be a proportionate (pro rata) reduction for less than standard hours eg less for part time

gross is the pay before deductions which will include mandatory ones like income tax and national insurance plus any agreed as part of the contract. Net is what you actually take home, after such deductions

Answer 4

Usually, in the UK, Pro Rata is the amount of salary you would be expected to draw if you were doing the job full time. So if you were offered a job at £22,000 p.a pro Rata. That is what you would earn for full time employment. If it was only for part time and you only work 19-20 hours, you would receive £11,000. (approx)

Answer 5

Pro rata, is used for part-time jobs, the figure quoted, say £20,000 is the full time rate, if the job then states, say 0.5, then the actual pay (gross) is £10,000!

Answer 6

Salary is alwasy gross.

For some pro-rata means that the salary is based on your experience.

So the job grosses $60K, but your experience isn;t up to what they want.

they'll hire you, but your ceiling is $50K

Answer 7

Pro rata is used where a job is for less than full time.

For example, if a salary is shown as £12000 pro rata, that's what you'd get if you worked full time (42.5 hrs per week). If you only worked 3 days a week at 8.5 hours per day, you would work for 25.5 hours per week. so £12,000 pro rata would work out to be............oh, I've just confused myself............................

Answer 8

Gross pay.

Pro-rata = in proportion; according to a certain rate (i.e. annual pay, rent for two weeks determined by monthly rental rate, etc.)

Answer 9

Salary is posted as gross and pro rate means that if it's $25,000 per year and you hire on in August, they will pro rate your salary according to thier billing cycle.
