Pro-rata salary = monthly salary ÷ days in the pay basis × days paid.
Employers use calendar days, a fixed 30 days, or 26 working days — the choice changes the per-day rate.

Frequently asked questions
Which basis is correct?
There is no single rule; it's set by your company's payroll policy or appointment letter. Calendar days is common for monthly-paid staff; 26 days is common where Sundays are unpaid weekly offs.
How is loss of pay (LOP) calculated?
LOP deduction = per-day salary × unpaid days, using the same basis.
