This is the reply i got for the same query
======================================
Thank you for your email.
We will assess your gross earnings before tax over a total period of up to 12 months out of the 15 months immediately prior to your application. The earnings can be for any continuous 12 month period out of the last 15 months. There can be gaps in employment within this 12 month period, however, the cumulative earnings total will still need to meet the earnings threshold claimed against. This applies where the applicant is in salaried or non-salaried employment. Applicants should indicate the start and end date of the period claimed on the application form. If the applicant claims for a period exceeding/outside the 12 months out of a 15 month period prior to the application date, we will assess the 12 months directly prior to the application date.
When making the conversion the exchange rate of the date of the last payslip should be used.
However, if you have been a student and are supplying evidence from before they started studying then the conversion should be based on the date of the last earnings.
I hope this helps.
