Doesn’t differentiate between tv/film or commercial background work.
This doesn’t work if I’m trying to calculate commercial background work that I did on a weekend. Which is double pay. It also didn’t calculate golden time and when I entered my start time at 8:30 AM and worked till 2:30 AM. It doesn’t recognize that I’ve worked 17 hours
Essential Tool
No more guessing in holding how much money we’ve got or how much more longer to go until Golden time
GET THIS YOU FOOL
There is no better source for anyone in the industry. Actorspay isn’t even close to this and is far less accurate. Start being responsible with your money guys, get this app, and track. No one is gonna do it for you and unfortunately mistakes are made all the time. Be informed and Get your pension! Thanks guy who created this, I hope to run into you on set someday.

Working Again
It worked wonderfully until I paid for the upgrade last night, 6/6/25. Now, the app is stuck on the landing page and will not open at all. If this gets fixed, I will change my review to five stars as I think the app, at least at one point, was worth a five-star-review. UPDATE: Today, 6/11, the app finally opened and works fine. Also, David, the developer emailed with great news about the forthcoming update. I have now changed my one star review to five. I have my favorite actor wage calculating app back. Thank you David.

Best App For Actors
Until someone turned me into this app I had been keeping detailed spreadsheets for years to track days I’d worked and payroll companies for tax time. This app does everything for you in an incredibly easy and helpful user interface. A serious game changer for BG, SI, and day players in the industry
God Send
An actor’s god send. Makes tracking payments a breeze, which is of course a must.
Invaluable
How I wish I’d had this when I first started - this app is everything. The developer was responsive and quick to implement features and updates that make sense.
Indispensable.

Excellent Tool
This is an excellent resource for actors and it is backed by top quality customer service. I had an issue and David Kubicka quickly helped me identify that his app was correct and the paycheck was indeed short. I recommend this app over other calculators I have tried.
Great app
Fantastic app, I love keeping track of all me gigs here - is it possible to make an entry for just a Covid test? Thanks
Great, but still needs a few tweaks.
This is a really useful app that migrates some online apps right to the phone. More accuracy would be welcome on the calculation page like specific SAG required bumps including formalwear, police uniforms aside from additional general wardrobe changes.
Response from developer
Thanks for the positive review and the useful feedback. Great suggestion--In the latest version 1.14, I've added a uniforms section in the pay calculator for police uniforms and formal attire. I've also meticulously addressed accuracy concerns so that the pay rates precisely match to the current rates for that work date and night premiums are correct to the penny. All My Best, David
Great Idea, but needs some work.
Great Idea, but needs some work. The “Base Rate” section keeps reverting to the original even after i change it - i had to adjust it three or four times before it would input the correct rate and hours. When it shows meal penalties under Non-Union its showing multiple meal penalties, but when working Non-union you only get one MP even if production goes over multiple MPs. Also, non-union doesn’t get a night premium. There’s more that needs work, but these will do for now.

Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. I've fixed the base rate issues that were occurring in the pay calculator as well as streamlined the process for non-union entries. As far as the meal penalties go, laws do vary state to state on non-union meal penalties, so I've removed those union-specific features from non-union entries for the time being. Worse comes to worst, you can add a miscellaneous bump to account for what production may compensate you in that regard. Please let me know if you have more ideas for improvement or find any more bugs by emailing: feedback@actorswagegauge.com. All My Best and Thanks, David
