# Worth picking up?

Nights, weekends, charge. See what a shift really pays after tax, before you say yes to it.

An example

Locked until you create a free account. No card.

Percent differentials work here. Your contract sets the numbers; we just do the math on them.

An example

Sam · 12-hour straight-time shift at $52/hr · CA

about $389

in Sam's pocket for that one shift, after federal, FICA and state

Sam's numbers, not yours. Taxes rounded up and the pocket rounded down, on purpose.

Make your money work for the life you want. A free account is where it starts: paying down what you owe, building savings that hold, and understanding your own money well enough that it works for you.

Run it with your own numbers, and the whole breakdown comes with it: every line, what it is, and what it does to your month.

Free account, no card. Snap your first stub after and your plan is saved to your account.

Doing this a lot?

Snap your whole month.

We’ll tell you which shifts are worth it before you say yes, and when you’ve already hit your pace.

Optional. The answer above needed nothing.

We round taxes up and your pocket down, on purpose. State and local rates are flat estimates by state; your stub has your exact withholding.

Some contracts pay differentials on overtime hours too; this estimate applies them to base only, the conservative read. Check your contract.

Whatever it’s for, the trip, the loans, the nails: it’s yours. No guilt. That’s the point of knowing the number first.

This is a rough, educational estimate from a bracket and two rates. Your paycheck knows the truth: your real differentials, your real withholding, your retirement lines. Snap it and we read every line we can verify, and hold the ones we can’t.
