If you're weighing whether to pick up an extra shift at your home facility or take an agency assignment, this calculator breaks down the math to help you decide. It compares your staff pay—including overtime multipliers and shift bonuses—against the agency's flat hourly rate to find the most lucrative option. Keep in mind that this looks strictly at pre-tax earnings for a single shift, so you'll want to factor in any differences in commute time or agency-specific tax deductions on your own. It's a handy, straightforward tool for maximizing your time on the floor.
