What is my daily gross pay ?

[Register1]

I earn 39,000 per year
I work 4 on, 4 of12 hour shifts,
I get 21 holiday days per year
I pay 1% to pension
I am 55 years old.
Holidays are paid at earnings rate, is, salaried
every month does not change, as I do no overtime.
Every month has same gross pay, and same take home,
give or take a couple of pounds.

Is it just so simple to divide 39,000 by 182,5 ?

Is there more to it?

Thanks all

365 - 21 / 2 = 172

£39,000 / 172 = £226 ?

I hope you pay 1% to pension over and above a generous company pension as that seems very low on its own unless you have other sizeable assets.

Not sure why you mention pension at all for the calculation TBH

The employer's contribution to pension is certainly relevant as soon both the employee's contributions and the employer's contributions will be used in the calculation of gross pay so that the tax relief on the former can be clawed back by £1 for every £2 earned over £150k.
Admittedly that will not be important to the OP unless he gets a whopping pay rise but one has to to recognise that the employer's contributions to pension are part of (deferred) pay and so are effectively part of gross pay, something which some employers are pointing out in total reward statements.

Thanks Sanie,

That is a way of looking at it.

Actually, assuming your holiday is paid then you would be right to divide your salary by 182.5

365 - 21 / 2 = 172

£39,000 / 172 = £226 ?

Thanks Sanie,

That is a way of looking at it.

Out of interest why do you want to calculate it this way?
I guess looking at contracting? If that's the case you need to add on at least 30% to get a daily rate that is similar to being PAYE. IME.
If not, I will shut up.

Hi,
Actually it is to do with some recent jury service, where my company make my salary up from the courts 64.95 per day.

I am at logga heads with my company, who suggest my gross daily pay is just 124.00 per day, which is clearly incorrect.

It's a long drawn out thing, where they even get gross pay and net pay mixed up, so I would like to go back to the beginning and determine my gross daily pay for the 12 hour shifts I work.

Cheers

P.S. Back to O.P. You may find that your household insurance covers loss of pay during jury service mine does, or did last time I looked.

Do you earn 39,000 because of a shift allowance or are you contracted to those hours with that pay?

I would assume that you are pay x% for working unsociable hours and the company do not want to pay that perhaps?

I'd say they're doing something along the lines of:

4 days on/4 days off @ 12 hours = 48 hours worked over 8 days = 48/8*7 = 42 hours a week.
£39,000/42/52 = £17.86 an hour.
1 day = 7 hours = 7*£17.86 = £125.02 a day.

Still, I'd say it was your hourly rate that mattered (and not your daily rate) and the number of hours you've been unable to work because of jury duty. Multiply 'em up and you should have a fair figure.
