What a two weeks on, one week off roster actually pays

Turn the roster, hourly rate, overtime rule, and allowances into one estimate you can check line by line.

A roster tells you when you work. It does not tell you what you will be paid until the hours, penalties, allowances, and pay period line up.

Start with one complete roster cycle. Mark each day as day shift, night shift, or time off, then attach the rules from your contract or enterprise agreement. Keep the ordinary hourly rate separate from overtime and allowance amounts.

An annual estimate is useful for comparing offers, but a pay-period estimate is easier to reconcile. FIFO Pay keeps both tied to the same rules and labels every result as an estimate.
