Fair Work Pay Calculator: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Use this tool to check if you are being paid the correct award rates and penalty payments for your work.
The Fair Work Pay Calculator is an online tool designed to help you verify that your employer is paying you the correct amount according to workplace laws.
Who it's for
This tool is for all employees who are covered by the National Employment Standards.
What you get
You can use the calculator to confirm you are receiving the correct award rates (the minimum legal pay for your specific job) and penalty rates (extra pay for working specific hours, such as weekends or late nights).
What it costs you
This service is free to use.
The catch to know
The tool is only as accurate as the information you provide. If you do not know your specific "Award" classification—which is the legal document that sets out your pay and working conditions—you might not get an accurate result.
How to apply
- Visit the official website.
- Locate the pay calculator tool.
