How do I calculate my nursing pay with shift differentials?

Enter your base hourly rate, then input your regular, night, weekend, and overtime hours. Add your differential rates (typically $3-8/hr for nights, $2-5/hr for weekends). The calculator will show your total weekly pay and effective hourly rate.

What is a travel nurse true hourly rate?

The true hourly rate for travel nurses is calculated by taking your total contract value (taxable pay + tax-free stipends + bonuses) and dividing by total hours worked. This gives you a more accurate picture of your actual compensation compared to just looking at the taxable hourly rate.

Are travel nurse stipends taxable?

Housing and M&IE (Meals & Incidental Expenses) stipends are typically tax-free when you maintain a tax home. However, tax situations vary, so consult a tax professional for your specific circumstances.
