Calculating your furlough pay

A furlough calculator for employees, brought to you by Rotaready & TiPJAR

Over the past few weeks many of those working in hospitality, retail and leisure have been furloughed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many are struggling to work out how much they’re going to be paid. It’s not a straightforward calculation and there are a number of variables to consider, especially if you’re paid hourly.

So we’ve teamed up with TiPJAR to develop a furlough calculator for employees. By entering a few key details, you can work out what you’ll be paid if you’ve been furloughed. If you haven’t yet been furloughed, but suspect you may be further down the line, you can still use the calculator to give you an idea of what you’ll receive.
