The 38-hour weekly ordinary hours cap resets every Monday. Hours beyond that are overtime regardless of daily totals.
Applies adult rates (21+) and junior rates (under 21) based on your age — just select your age bracket.
No spreadsheets, no award PDFs. Just your shifts.
Pick your state, age, classification level and when your work week starts. We handle the award.
Pop in up to 5 shifts for the week with start and end times — takes seconds.
Get a clear breakdown by rate and by shift, with the maths behind every dollar.
The stuff that's easy to get wrong — we do it automatically.

Casual Pay automatically tracks both daily and weekly overtime across all your entered shifts — so you always see the correct rate applied to every hour.
Award rates are updated annually by the Fair Work Commission. Using a dedicated casual retail pay calculator helps you double-check your payslips, stay informed about your entitlements, and ensure you are being paid accurately for every hour you clock in.
