You can do net to gross calculations, although this wouldnt breakdown the hourly rate.

Another think to look at is the employees tax code, if they are on basic rate the employers basically covers their tax and the employees/ers NI

Hi Chris

Thank you for your advice. I managed to set it up in Sage and it was fine for the first weeks pay of 36 hours but when I ran the 2nd week which was only 4.5 hours it didn't calculate a gross amount so should I pay her the amount it is telling me to or recalculate to work out what the gross hourly rate is and multiply it by 4.5?

Eg 36 hours @ 7.75net is 330.38 and £279 net pay

So confusing

Sam

Maybe the gross is the same as net due to not exceeding the personal allowance.

It is probably giving a tax refund, so the gross is less then the net pay

Surely it's because it is such a low amount that there will be no tax and ni to pay, therefore the gross and net are the same?  What tax code are they on? as my software worked out the gross pay on the 36hrs as something different.
