About pro rata and part-time work
Pro rata (literally "for the part") means you are paid a proportion of the full-time amount. If you work half the hours, you earn half the salary. The advantage is simplicity and fairness: your pay is strictly proportional to the work. The drawback is that some employment benefits do not scale: sick leave, training budgets and team events often stay the same whether you are full-time or part-time.
Part-time work does not need to be pro rata. You might negotiate a higher or lower hourly rate depending on the nature of the work and what the market will bear. This calculator works out the pro rata amount so you can compare it against what you are actually offered.
Common questions
How do I calculate a pro rata salary?
Multiply your full-time salary by your hours worked, then divide by the full-time hours. If the full-time salary is $100,000 at 38 hours a week, and you work 19 hours, your pro rata salary is $100,000 × 19 ÷ 38 = $50,000.
What are full-time hours in Australia?
The maximum ordinary hours under the National Employment Standards are 38 hours a week. Some awards and enterprise agreements specify different hours, so check your contract. Once you know the full-time benchmark, your pro rata amount is whatever fraction of it you actually work.
Is superannuation pro rata too?
Yes. Superannuation is 12% of what you are actually paid, whether that is the full amount or a pro rata amount. If you work part-time and earn a pro rata salary, your employer contributes 12% of that to your super fund.
Does part-time income pay less tax?
Yes, as a share of income. Tax is progressive, so a lower income pays a lower average rate: on $100,000 the tax and Medicare levy come to 22.5% of income, and on a 0.6 pro rata $60,000 to 16.0%. Part-time work is not taxed differently; the income is simply lower.
More ways to check your pay
How this is worked out
- Pro rata salary = full-time salary × your hours ÷ full-time hours (usually 38).
- Take-home uses the ATO's Schedule 1 withholding formula and the 2026-27 tax rates, including the Medicare levy and low income tax offset.
- Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × 52 weeks).
- Pay conversion assumes 5 working days a week and 52 weeks a year.
- Super is 12% of your gross salary, pro rata just like the salary.
