Tier 2 general - ILR 35K salary

[UPENDRAB]

Dear Respected Members,

I am a Tier 2 General Visa holder issued on March 30, 2012. Due to the recent £35K slab, I am in the bracket to show that I need to meet this threshold to be eligible for ILR application.

My question is:

My present Salary is £31,500 and I work 37.5 hrs a week as per my contract- which translates to

31,500 / 37.5* 52

Hourly: £16.15 / hr

However, the rates
per ASHE - SOC Code of practice are based on a 39-hour working week for all occupations where the salary source used is the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings. Now does this means that my present salary is

Annual salary on 39 hour week will be 16.15 * 39*52 = £32752

Now to reach the 35K slab to be eligible to apply for ILR - how much salary raise do I need to have?
If 35K is based on 39 hour week- hourly will be :

£35000 / 52*39 = £17.25 /hr

so based on my number of working hours(37.5) - this means a salary of :

17.25*52*37.5 = £ 33637 which actually seems not far off from my present: £32752

My question here is:

Under the above circumstances- Do i need to reach £32752 or min flat £35,000(irrespective of working hours) to meet the ILR salary criteria?

Please any inputs from the respected members will be highly appreciated as this will be very helpful in making a key decision for our family.

Regards,
