Public Holiday Pay Calculator

What opening on a public holiday really costs against closing, and the surcharge that makes it worth it.

  • The real wage bill for opening, with time and a half and days in lieu, against what closing still costs you
  • Whether the day leaves you better off once product, card fees and clients who'd book another day are counted
  • The surcharge that breaks even or hits your margin, and who on the roster earns a day in lieu

How it works

Your numbers in. A decision out.

  1. Buy it

    Pay once by card. Your access link usually lands in your inbox within a minute.

  2. Type in your numbers

    It opens with sample numbers so you can see how it works. Type over them with yours.

  3. Read the answer

    Green, amber or red against targets you can change, with what to do about it in plain English.

  4. Run it again

    Rent goes up, minimum wage moves, you hire. Open it and re-run. It's yours.

Have these handy

What you'll need

  • Who you'd roster, their pay rates and hours
  • Which of them normally work that day of the week
  • What you expect to take on the day
  • A normal day's takings, if you want the comparison

Good guesses are fine for a first run. You can tighten them later and the answer updates as you type.
