WageBeacon vs Schichtgeld

Understand how your shifts and pay rules add up to the gross pay on your payslip. WageBeacon brings your shifts, expected pay and payslip comparison together. Enter the rules that apply to you, review a breakdown of base pay and bonuses, and look more closely at possible differences. ADD AND REVIEW YOUR SHIFTS Enter shifts yourself, select calendar events or choose a clear roster photo or PDF. On-device text recognition suggests dates and times. Review and edit the proposed shifts before saving. You can also review suggested amounts from a payslip image. CALCULATE WITH YOUR OWN RULES Set your hourly wage, breaks, bonuses and overtime rules for each employer. Missing information stays visibly provisional. A take-home estimate uses a withholding percentage you choose; it is not a tax calculation. COMPARE AND KEEP A RECORD Compare expected gross pay and individual pay components with your payslip. Saved checks keep the original period, shifts, rules and result. The full version includes PDF and CSV reports. LOCAL AND WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION Your wage data stays on your iPhone. Roster and payslip recognition runs on device. No account, advertising or subscription is required. Try one fixed weekly, four-weekly or monthly pay period free, with unlimited shifts for one employer. A single non-consumable in-app purchase unlocks all pay periods, multiple employers and report export. The current local price is shown before purchase. WageBeacon is an estimator based on the information and rules you confirm. A possible difference is a reason to check the details, not proof of an employer error. The app does not provide tax, legal or employment advice.
