Worked example
A role advertised at $80,000 full-time is offered at 3 days a week. That is 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6 FTE, or 22.8 hours of a 38-hour week, so the pro rata salary is $80,000 × 0.6 = $48,000.
After income tax and the Medicare levy, that is $42,735.00 a year, or $1,643.65 a fortnight. Full-time take-home pay would be $64,200.00, so 60% of the hours keeps 66.6% of the take-home pay. Moving to 4 days a week would lift the salary to $64,000 and take-home pay to $53,375.00.

Pro-rata leave entitlements
Part-time employees build up leave in proportion to their ordinary hours, so their leave covers the same number of weeks as a full-timer’s.
- Annual leave: 4 weeks a year of your ordinary hours. At 22.8 hours a week that is 91.2 hours. Someone working 20 hours a week builds up 80 hours. (Annual leave, Fair Work Ombudsman, checked 12 October 2026.)
- Paid sick and carer’s leave: 10 days a year for full-time employees, and for part-time employees 1/26 of the ordinary hours worked in a year. At 22.8 hours a week that is 45.6 hours. (Paid sick and carer’s leave, Fair Work Ombudsman, checked 12 October 2026.)
These are minimums. An award, enterprise agreement or contract can give more, and leave accrues on ordinary hours only, not overtime.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a pro rata salary?
Divide the hours or days you work by the full-time hours or days, then multiply by the full-time salary. Three days out of five is 0.6 FTE, so $80,000 becomes $48,000. By hours, 22.8 out of 38 is the same 0.6.
Do part-time employees get annual leave and sick leave?
Yes. Under the National Employment Standards, part-time employees get 4 weeks of annual leave and paid sick and carer’s leave of up to 10 days a year, both worked out on their ordinary hours. Casual employees don't get paid leave; they are paid a casual loading instead.
Why is my part-time take-home pay more than the FTE share?
Australian income tax is progressive. Cutting your hours removes income from your highest tax bracket first, so tax falls faster than pay. At 0.6 FTE on $80,000, you take home 66.6% of the full-time take-home pay, not 60%.
