Questions people ask
How do I work out my pay under an award?
Tell the calculator about your job in your own words. It finds the Modern Award that likely covers you, asks a few questions to settle your classification, then prices a typical week with the penalty rates, overtime and allowances that apply. Every figure comes with the reason for it.
Is this the same as the Fair Work pay calculator?
It uses the same Fair Work Commission rates. The difference is that it works out the award and classification with you and prices a whole week, instead of handing you a rate to apply yourself.
Am I being underpaid?
Compare the result with your payslip. If the figures don't match, upload the payslip to FairCheck's free payslip check, which reads the actual pay lines and shows where the pay falls short.
Is the pay calculator free?
Yes. It is free and needs no account.
