Turn a full-time firefighter salary into a part-time plan.
Model weekly hours or FTE percentage, then estimate annual gross pay, take-home pay and pension contributions using the current national rate.
How the pro-rata calculation works
The tool multiplies the selected national annual basic salary by your FTE percentage. A 60% contract therefore models 60% of the full-time basic rate. It then adds the separate additions and overtime you enter before estimating deductions.
Where local terms matter
A real flexible-working agreement controls duty times, annual leave, public holidays, pensionable pay, training and overtime availability. On-call employment is a different structure built from a retainer and paid activity, so use the dedicated on-call pay calculator for that route.
Frequently asked questions
Is part-time pension membership based on full-time salary?
The benefit and contribution rules depend on actual pensionable earnings and scheme regulations. The model uses actual estimated pensionable pay for the contribution band.
Can part-time firefighters work overtime?
Potentially, but the trigger and rate depend on the contract and national/local terms. Confirm with payroll or HR.
