Why Our Calculator is Different

🎯 Roster-Based, Not Annual

Unlike generic salary calculators, we calculate based on your actual roster pattern. A 7/7 roster is very different from a 2/1 roster, and we account for that.

⚡ Shift Loading & Overtime

We include night shift loading, overtime multipliers, and site allowances to give you the most accurate picture of your take-home pay.

🏠 Swing Pay Analysis

Understand the real impact of time on-site vs time at home. A higher hourly rate might mean less swing time, which affects your quality of life.

🔍 Job Comparison

Compare job offers side-by-side. See not just the income difference, but also the swing difference and tax impact.

Example: Comparing Two FIFO Jobs

Job A: 7/7 Roster

  • $65/hour
  • 12-hour shifts
  • 5 day shifts + 2 night shifts per cycle
  • 15% night loading

Job B: 2/1 Roster

  • $75/hour
  • 12-hour shifts
  • 5 day shifts + 2 night shifts per cycle
  • 15% night loading
Annual Take-Home (Job A):$118,500
Annual Take-Home (Job B):$135,800
Income Gain:+$17,300/year

But Job B has a 2/1 roster (67% on-site) vs Job A's 7/7 (50% on-site). You'll spend more time away from home. Is the extra $17k worth it?
