How it works

Some employers pay an additional hourly amount for nights, weekends, holidays, or less desirable shifts. This calculator adds that differential to your base rate.

Example

If your base rate is $20 per hour, your shift differential is $2 per hour, and you work 40 hours, your adjusted hourly rate is $22 and your total pay is $880.

FAQ
