Daily rate calculation enables you to process employee salaries in the following scenarios:

Scenario 1: Calculating prorated salaries for new joiners
You can calculate the salary of a new employee in your organization on a prorated basis (in the joining month) based on the value you select for Daily Rate Calculation field in Payroll settings.
The following example considers an employee with a gross monthly salary of AED 35000 who has joined an organization on August 10, 2022.
The employee's salary calculated in the pay run could be any of the following, depending on the daily rate calculation:
Calendar days in year (annual salary / 365)
With this Daily Rate Calculation setting, the employee's prorated salary in August 2022 is calculated in the following way:
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Gross monthly salary (Gross) |
35000 AED |
Date of joining | August 10, 2022 |
Number of days that the employee has worked for in the month (Days) | 22 |
Pay run salary (Salary) | [(Gross * 12) / 365] * Days |
Salary = [(Gross * 12) / 365] * Days
= [(35000 * 12) / 365] * 22
= 25315.07
In the August 2022 pay run, the employee's payroll profile displays the calculated amount as the employee's prorated salary:
Working days in year (annual salary / ___ days)

Date of joining | August 10, 2022 |
Number of working days that the employee has worked for in the month (Days) | 16 |
Number of working days in the year (Working Days) | 249 |
Pay run salary (Salary) | [(Gross * 12) / Working Days] * Days |
Salary = [(Gross * 12) / Working Days] * Days
= [(35000 * 12) / 249] * 16
= 26987.95
In the August 2022 pay run, the employee's payroll profile displays the calculated amount as the employee's prorated salary:

Number of days that the employee has worked for in the month (Days) | 22 |
Pay run salary (Salary) | (Gross / 31) * Days |

= (35000 / 31) * 22
= 24838.71
In the August 2022 pay run, the employee's payroll profile displays the calculated amount as the employee's prorated salary:

Scenario 2: Processing unpaid leaves
When processing the salary of an employee who with unpaid leaves in a particular month, Yomly first calculates the salary for all the unpaid leaves based on the value of the Daily Rate Calculation field (that you selected in in Payroll settings). Then, this amount is reduced from the gross monthly salary.
The following example considers an employee with a basic monthly salary of AED 25000 who has taken 2 unpaid days off in August.
Based on a Calendar days in year (annual salary / 365) Daily Rate Calculation setting, the employee's salary deduction displayed in the pay run is calculated in the following way:
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Basic monthly salary (Basic) |
25000 AED |
Number of unpaid leave days availed (Days) | 2 |
Amount deducted from the salary (Deduction) | [(Basic * 12) / 365] * Days |
Deduction = [(Basic * 12 / 365] * Days
= [(25000 * 12) / 365] * 2
= 1643.83
In the August 2022 pay run, the employee's payroll profile displays the calculated amount as the salary deduction:
Scenario 3: Setting up a unique pay run frequency

The following example considers an employee with a gross monthly salary of AED 15000.
Based on a Days in 30 days (monthly salary / 30 day) Daily Rate Calculation setting and an Ad hoc pay run frequency setting, the employee's salary in a pay run between September 1, 2022 and September 15, 2022 is calculated in the following way:

Gross monthly salary (Gross) |
15000 AED |
Number of days that the employee has worked for in the pay run (Days) | 15 |
