Question 1

What is a prorated salary?

Accepted Answer

A prorated salary is pay for part of a month rather than a full one. When you do not work every working day, for example you start mid-month, resign partway through, or take unpaid leave, your pay is adjusted to match the days you actually worked. It is worked out from your daily rate.

Question 2

How is prorated salary computed?

Accepted Answer

First find your daily rate by dividing your full monthly salary by the working days in the month. Multiply that daily rate by the number of days you actually worked, and that is your prorated pay. For example, a ₱22,000 salary over 22 working days is ₱1,000 a day, so 10 days worked is ₱10,000.

Question 3

How many working days should I use for the month?

Accepted Answer

Use the paid working days in that specific month. Many companies use around 22 days for a standard Monday to Friday schedule, which is the default here. Some employers use a fixed factor instead, such as 26 days for daily-paid roles. Check your payslip or ask your HR team which basis they follow so your estimate matches.

Question 4

How do I compute pay when I have unpaid leave?

Accepted Answer

Switch to the days not worked option and enter your unpaid days. The calculator subtracts them from the working days in the month, so the result is your pay for the days that remain. It also shows the amount you did not earn for the unpaid days.

Question 5

How is a prorated 13th month pay computed?

Accepted Answer

Your 13th month pay is your total basic salary for the year divided by 12. If you worked only part of the year, it is prorated: your monthly basic salary times the months you worked, divided by 12. For example, a ₱24,000 basic salary for 6 months is ₱24,000 times 6, divided by 12, or ₱12,000. Switch to the 13th month option to compute yours.

Question 6

How do I prorate a performance bonus?

Accepted Answer

A prorated bonus is the full bonus times the share of the period you worked. Choose the bonus option, enter the full bonus, then pick whether it covers a full year or a full month. Enter your time worked as months out of 12 for a year, or days out of 30 for a month. Bonus proration follows company policy, and some bonuses are discretionary or all-or-nothing, so check your bonus terms.

Question 7

Does this include tax and contributions?

Accepted Answer

No. This shows the gross amount for the period. SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and withholding tax are still applied on your actual payroll cutoff, and a partial month can shift them. To estimate a full month after deductions, use the Take-Home Pay calculator.

Question 8

Is anything I enter saved or sent anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Every calculation runs privately on your device. Nothing you type is stored, tracked, or sent to a server.
