Example Calculations
Example 1 – Pay Cut by Percentage
- Original monthly salary = $5,000
- Reduction = 10%
5,000−(5,000×0.10)=4,5005,000 – (5,000 \times 0.10) = 4,5005,000−(5,000×0.10)=4,500
👉 New monthly salary = $4,500
Example 2 – Unpaid Leave Deduction
- Original monthly salary = $3,200
- Deduction = $400 (unpaid leave)
3,200−400=2,8003,200 – 400 = 2,8003,200−400=2,800
👉 New monthly salary = $2,800
Example 3 – Annual Salary Adjustment
- Annual salary = $60,000
- Reduction = 15%
60,000−(60,000×0.15)=51,00060,000 – (60,000 \times 0.15) = 51,00060,000−(60,000×0.15)=51,000
