Shift roster
Nurse shift pay calculator
One place to stack a shift: base, differential hours, and optional OT. Built for nurses who think in shifts, not generic salary widgets.

When to use
Pricing a single pickup or a week of mixed shifts; explaining a stub line to yourself.
When not to
Full tax withholding or multi-state rules — out of scope.
Assumptions: Same week-gross stack as the nurse pay hub; you enter which hours carry differentials.
Worked examples
Input
Base $42/hr 36 hrs Night +$5/hr on 36
Output
Base $1,512 Diff $180 Gross $1,692
All 36 hours carry the night premium in this example.
Input
Same week +4 OT hrs at 1.5× blended
Output
OT line adds on top of base + diff stack
Common traps
- Stacking rules vary — some units pay night + weekend, others pay the higher of the two.
- OT may need a blended regular rate that includes differentials — don't assume base-only OT.
- This is not a schedule system or official payroll output.

Common questions
The gross for a shift or week: base hourly pay plus any differentials and OT you enter — not take-home.
No — gross estimate only. Withholding and benefits sit outside this tool.
Yes — optional OT hours and multiplier stack on top of base and differential pay.
No — planning estimate from numbers you supply, not your employer's system.
