Not professional advice. This capability calculates payroll figures from published rules. It is a software component for developers, not tax or legal advice. Rules change and every rate here has an effective date. Check that the dates cover your case. Verify results against the official sources listed in its README, and have a payroll specialist review how you use it, before anyone relies on the output. Provided “as is” under its licence, without warranty.

What it does

The salary due for a starter's or leaver's partial pay period, and for a part-time worker, from the full-time salary for the period:

`pay = periodSalary x fteBasisPoints / 10000 x daysCounted / daysInPeriod`

For example

  • proRataSalary(£3,000.00, 100%, 2026-09-01, 2026-09-30, 2026-09-14, 2026-09-30, calendar-days, ) → pay £1,700.00, days counted 17, days in period 30 September starter by calendar days: 17 of 30
  • proRataSalary(£3,000.00, 100%, 2026-09-01, 2026-09-30, 2026-09-14, 2026-09-30, working-days, ) → pay £1,772.73, days counted 13, days in period 22 the same starter by working days: 13 of 22 gives a different answer
  • proRataSalary(£3,000.00, 60%, 2026-09-01, 2026-09-30, 2026-09-01, 2026-09-30, calendar-days, ) → pay £1,800.00, days counted 30, days in period 30 part-time for a whole month

The function

The same function in TypeScript, Python and Rust, pinned by the same tests. Pick your language; the choice follows you around the registry.

export function proRataSalary(periodSalary: Money, fteBasisPoints: number, periodStart: string, periodEnd: string, workedFrom: string, workedTo: string, method: ProRataMethod, holidays: readonly string[]): ProRata

The types it declares, generated into your project

export type ProRataMethod = "calendar-days" | "working-days";

/** The amount and the fraction it came from. */
export interface ProRata {
  readonly pay: Money;
  /** days in the employed part of the period, by the method */
  readonly daysCounted: number;
  /** days in the whole period, by the same method */
  readonly daysInPeriod: number;
}

Install

fune build

With that line in your source, in a TypeScript project (language typescript in fune.project), fune build resolves it and its 4 dependencies, pins them in fune.lock, downloads only the TypeScript package of each, and builds the code above into your project’s .fune/build, one readable file per capability with a header linking back here. Or pin a range in fune.project and build in one step:

fune add payroll.pro-rata-salary

The manifest, vectors and README with only the TypeScript implementation. Install it without the registry with fune add ./payroll.pro-rata-salary-1.0.0-typescript.fune, or fetch it from a terminal with fune pull payroll.pro-rata-salary@1.0.0:typescript.

The whole function, every language, is one file too: payroll.pro-rata-salary-1.0.0.fune, 14,807 bytes, sha256 985557198e9652fa5eb30699d7b0882c7091e2aee5eb9c2bb610593fa7777518. It installs into a project of any language.

Customise it in your app

The seams this capability offers. Put a marker directly above a function of your own and fune build wires it into the built code; the package on the registry is not changed, the built file’s header lists it under CUSTOMISED, and fune hooks lists every hook in the project. How hooks work.

before — your function gets the arguments and returns them, changed or not, or throws to refuse the call.

// fune: before payroll.pro-rata-salary

after — your function gets the result and the arguments, and returns the final result.

// fune: after payroll.pro-rata-salary

replace — inside this capability’s code only, calls to a dependency go to your function, with the same signature. Other capabilities that use it are unaffected; write in * to replace it everywhere.

// fune: replace dates.add-days in payroll.pro-rata-salary
// fune: replace dates.business-days-between in payroll.pro-rata-salary
// fune: replace math.round-div in payroll.pro-rata-salary
// fune: replace money.amount in payroll.pro-rata-salary

step — your function runs at a numbered point inside the function’s body, receives the in-scope values it names as parameters, and may return replacements. List the points with fune show payroll.pro-rata-salary --steps.

// fune: step payroll.pro-rata-salary after <n|label>

Tests

A version published now needs at least 8 tests for every function, and one that expects the error for each function that throws; the registry refuses it otherwise. fune verify --all runs each case in TypeScript, Python and Rust, and a project runs them again with fune verify. This page lists the cases; it does not run them. The exact JSON is vectors.json.

More from the author

computed exactly and rounded half-up to the penny once, at the end (math.round-div), so the fraction of a penny is never rounded twice.

Two methods, because employers use both and they give different answers:

- **calendar-days** counts every day: 14 to 30 September is 17 of 30 days. - **working-days** counts Monday to Friday, less the `holidays` supplied (dates.business-days-between): 14 to 30 September 2026 is 13 of 22 days.

Which one applies is a contractual choice, not a legal one. A third common method, 1/260th or 1/365th of the annual salary per day, is the calendar or working-days method applied to a year-long period: pass the annual salary with the tax year as the period.

Both date ranges are inclusive. The employed range must sit inside the pay period. A working-days period with no working days in it is an error, since the fraction would be 0/0.
