Key takeaways

  • Build a 7-day schedule that works around your real constraints
  • See net monthly earnings, not just gross hours
  • Factor in burnout caps (max consecutive days, max shifts per week)
  • Compare 2-3 schedule shapes before committing

How it works

Captures your role's hourly rate, available hours per day, and constraints (school hours, second job, sleep cap). Returns a 7-day schedule plus monthly earnings forecast accounting for taxes + transport + childcare.

When to use it

When juggling multiple jobs, before committing to a new shift pattern, when going back to school while working, or when planning a side hustle on top of a day job.

How does the planner decide what's 'safe' versus burnout territory?

Defaults are based on shift-worker health research: no more than 6 consecutive workdays, at least 11 hours between shifts, and a soft cap of 50 hours per week. You can override the caps; the planner flags violations rather than blocking them.

Does it handle multiple jobs with different rates?

Yes — add each role with its own hourly rate and the planner aggregates the schedule. The earnings projection runs each role's rate against the hours assigned to that role.

What about variable shifts (different hours each week)?

Build a template week; the planner can repeat it or rotate between 2-3 patterns. For truly week-to-week variable work, plan one representative week and use the result as a baseline.

Does it sync with my employer's scheduling app?

No — the planner is a personal-use tool, not a workforce-management integration. Export your schedule as ICS to drop it into Google Calendar, then map it back manually to your employer's app.

How does the earnings projection handle taxes?

Same engine as the Paycheck Calculator — federal + state + FICA based on your work state. The output is take-home, not gross. Add per-day transport + childcare costs in the deductions panel to see true net.

Can I plan night shifts and shift differentials?

Yes — mark a shift as 'night' and enter your night-shift differential rate (e.g. +15%). The planner applies the differential to those hours; tax engine treats it as regular earnings.

Planning Tool Estimates

This tool provides projections for planning purposes only. Actual earnings depend on shift availability, employer rates, tips, overtime, and other factors beyond this tool's scope. Check Indeed Flex for current available shifts and actual pay rates.
