Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The National Minimum Wage applies to every worker regardless of whether they work part-time, full-time, or on a zero-hours contract. Your employer must pay at least the NMW rate for every hour you work.
Simply multiply your NMW hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week to get your gross weekly pay. The rate for 2026/27 is £12.71/hr for workers aged 21+, £10.85/hr for 18–20, and £8.00/hr for under-18s and first-year apprentices.
Yes. All workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday per year, pro-rated for part-time hours. For irregular hours workers, holiday pay is calculated at 12.07% of pay earned in the relevant pay period.
It depends on your annual earnings. If you earn less than £12,570/year (the 2026/27 personal allowance), you pay no income tax or NI. Many part-time minimum wage workers fall below this threshold.
