Why pay for a calculator?
Because the rules move. Rates, bands and credits change every Budget, and PRSI changed part-way through 2026. Premium is what pays for somebody to check each figure against Revenue and keep the tools current.
The basic calculator stays free and unlimited, with no account.
A worked example: a 17:00 → 01:00 shift with a 30-minute unpaid break
€13.50 an hour, plus a Sunday shift at 1.33×.
| Shift length 17:00 → 01:00 | 8 h |
|---|---|
| Hours at work, both shifts | 16 h |
| Paid hours after breaks | 15 h |
| Two shifts, gross | €235.95 |
The engine flags that the first shift crosses midnight (yes): it belongs to the day it started, and it is eight hours, not sixteen. Average rate across both shifts: €15.73.
How to read it
Two things go wrong most often with hospitality shifts. First, shifts that cross midnight: 17:00 to 01:00 is eight hours, not sixteen and not seven, and a rota that records it on the wrong day can lose you an hour. Second, unpaid breaks are deducted from paid time but not from time at work — which is what the minimum-wage check uses. Add a Sunday premium on top and the same nominal rate produces quite different weeks, which is why it is worth totalling a real rota rather than multiplying an average.
The figures in this example are produced by the same engine as the calculator above, using the 2026 tax year data. If a rule changes, they change here too.

Built for hospitality and retail hours: shifts that finish after midnight, breaks that are not paid, and Sunday or bank holiday rates that differ from the rest of the week. Add your shifts, see the week total, and export it before you check your payslip.
