Shift Wage Planer vs Schichter

Shift calendar and pay calculator in one app. Enter your shifts and the app works out gross pay, shift allowances, taxes, social contributions and net pay, before your payslip arrives. Is that extra Sunday shift worth it? What does the pay rise really bring? Is your employer's payslip correct? Verdienst Planer gives you the answer, explained line by line.
