All Shift Differential Pay Calculators
Calculate your shift differential pay for any US state or international country. Each calculator helps you determine earnings for night shifts, weekends, and other premium shifts.
Shift differential pay varies significantly across industries, employers, and regions. While there's no federal requirement for shift differentials in the US, many employers offer extra compensation to attract workers for less desirable shifts. Healthcare, manufacturing, and hospitality industries commonly offer differentials ranging from 5% to 20% for night and weekend work.
Our calculators help you estimate your total earnings when working shifts that receive differential pay. Whether you're a nurse working overnight, a factory worker on weekend shifts, or any employee receiving premium pay, these tools make it easy to calculate your actual compensation.
