How to Manually Calculate an Employee’s Prorated Salary

To calculate an employee's prorated salary, you must take into account these scenarios:

  1. An employee who starts work after the 1st day of the month

  2. An employee who resigns before the last day of the month

  3. An employee who takes no pay leave of one or more days in the month

The salary proration calculation formula can be used in the following situations:

1) Working Days

  • [(Monthly gross rate of pay) / (Total number of working days in that month)] x Total number of days the employee actually worked in that month.

2) Calendar Days

  • [(Monthly gross rate of pay) / (Total number of calendar days in that month)] x Total number of remaining calendar days that the employee worked in that month.

3) 26 Working Days

  • [(Monthly gross rate of pay) / (26 working days)] x [26 - (Total number of days that should be deducted from days worked in the month)]


Hope this helps you with your salary proration calculations in Talenox. 🤩
