Seems sufficient. You will need 6 months of payslips with corresponding bank statements under category A none-salaried. However, if you wish then may choose to apply under category B by supplying 12 months of payslips & bank statements. Employer letter in all cases will also be needed.

That's bulls. You need 6 Months, we done it.
Tha checklist asks for "Payslips covering any period of salaried employment (current and previous) in
the period of 12 months prior to the date of application"

Whenever you will meet him/her (solicitor) then ask that what else gets generated on the checklist and will that need to be supplied as well? For your own information the generic checklist ask several extraneous evidences which even doesn't apply to you.

In the cover letter we included a paragraph how we calculated annual income like you would below:

Financial Requiremnts

As, I do not earn the same amount continuously, though its above the financial required amount, we have relied on the guidance as per Appendix FM section 1.7, paragraph 5.1.4, in calculating the annual income for cartegory A application as follows:

Last 6 months gross pay as follows:

Month - Gross Pay
February 2020 - £1,753.34
March 2020 - £2,301.96
April 2020 - £1,978.26
May 2020 - £975.80
June 2020 - £1,633.02
July 2020 - £2,682.60
Total - £11,324.98
Annual Income calculated as (Total gross income from employment held throughout the 6 month period, divided by 6) multiplied by 12: i.e
£11,324.98/6*12 = £22,649.96

This is fine.

Apply under CAT A non salaried and provide payslips covering 6 months period.

Appendix FM-SE

"2. In respect of salaried employment in the UK (except where paragraph 9 applies), all of the following evidence must be provided:
(a) Payslips covering:
(i) a period of 6 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for at least 6 months (and where paragraph 13(b) of this Appendix does not apply);

or

(ii) any period of salaried employment in the period of 12 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for less than 6 months (or at least 6 months but the person does not rely on paragraph 13(a) of this Appendix), or in the financial year(s) relied upon by a self-employed person."


If you are applying under CAT A salaried or non salaried as per appendix FM-SE, you only need to submit 6 months payslips. so many people have submitted 6 months payslips and got approved so nothing to be worried about.
My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.

Doesn't matter as your employer can state the income earned during the last 12 months because annual income is required in employer letter despite your 6 months of payslips will matter. . In addition of it you can attach your covering letter highlighting the relevant calculations -annualised average income. And just supply 6 months of payslips from Feb - July.

That most often happens with none-salaried persons where their employer hesitate in confirming the annual income due to a misconceived anomaly as if they are guaranteeing a new contractual income which actually isn't the case. Nevertheless, best would be to either ask your employer to state, that doing so is against their policy or the same you state in covering letter

Thanks seagul Bro .Much appreciated for your help all the way. I have completed Application today , as you advice Please see below my personal statement regarding financial requirement

My Husband Meets Financial requirement in CAT A, He is in non-salaried employment which means his monthly income varies every month. My husband employer not willing to mention gross annual income because by doing so is against their policy. So we have calculated income for category A in three ways. In each three ways my husband meet financial requirement for Category A.
A): With 6 months Payslip
As per guidance Appendix FM section 1.7, paragraph 5.1.4, in calculating the annual income for Category A application as follows:
Last 6 months gross pay as follows:
Monthly Gross Pay:
March: £2,301.96
April: £1,978.26
May: £975.80
June: £1,633.02
July: £2,682.60
August: £2209.68
Total:- 11,781.32
Annual Income calculated as (Total gross income from employment held throughout the 6 month period, divided by 6) multiplied by 12: i.e
£11,781.32/6*12 = £23,562.63
B): With 12 Months payslip. Please see attached payslip since August 2019
1 28th August 2019 1618.58 Total Gross Pay
2 28th September 2019 951.50 Total Gross Pay
3 28th October 2019 1950.58 Total Gross Pay
4 28th November 1319.65 Total Gross Pay
5 28th December 583.88 Total Gross Pay
6 28th January 0.00 (My Husband was on unpaid leave)
7 28th February 2305.43 Total Gross Pay
8 28th March 3193.43 Total Gross Pay
9 28th April 2584.36 Total Gross Pay
10 28th May 975.80 Total Gross Pay
11 28th June 2070.72 Total Gross Pay
12 28th July 2691.40 Total Gross Pay
£20,245.33 Total Annual Gross Income.

C): With Employer Contracted Hours + Saving
37.5 x 8.72 x 52 Weeks = £17,004
Financial requirement £18600 - £17,004 = Shortfall is 1,596 x 2.5 = 3,990 + 16000
Saving required = 19,990
Saving Balance through out six month = 20,500.

Give the ending balance as caseworker will itself find the most relevant figure. Also you can point out by yourself the lowest figure during the last 6 months on your covering letter.
