How would you like to enter your pay?
STEP 1 OF 2 — READ THE PAYSLIP
✓Dropping the PDF itself gives the most accurate read■Fields with a green outline came from your payslip. Overwrite anything that looks wrong.
About 50 seconds. The next section opens up as you fill this one in.
Tick everything that applies. Plenty of pilots fly the line and instruct at the same time.
Pay rises with age at every airline, so the same seat at the same carrier means a different number at a different age. We only ask for a 10-year band.
The month of one payslip, and what you flew that month.
The month of that one payslip. One report per month — re-filing the same airline and month is treated as a correction and overwrites it.
What you actually flew that month (block hours). It is the denominator of pay per block hour — the only measure that compares across countries and airlines.
If you did not fly that month, or you do not track hours, enter 0.
Total hours from report to release for the month. It includes standby and ground duties, so the same flight time can mean very different duty at another airline.
The contractual floor you are paid even if you do not fly it (Minimum Guarantee / MG).
Many carriers — Japanese ones among them — have no guarantee at all: leave it blank.
Nights spent away from base. If every trip was a day return, enter 0.
Two contracts can pay the same and keep you away from home a completely different number of nights.
Base never appears in any public aggregate. Once the data is narrowed to airline, fleet and rank, adding base would pin it to one person in any thin segment.
Enter the figures exactly as printed on the payslip. If you would rather split it by allowance, you can do that below.
Pick the currency exactly as printed on your payslip — dollars, dirhams, yen, whatever it says. We handle the conversion.
The total before tax and deductions ("Gross Pay" on your payslip).
Enter it exactly as printed, allowances and bonus included.
What actually reached your account, after tax and deductions ("Net Pay" on your payslip).
Gross minus this is your total deductions.
The monthly total of per diem included in the gross above.
If your airline pays none, or none was paid that month, enter 0.
The bonus sitting inside the gross above. Enter 0 in an ordinary month.
We take it out before annualising.
The same salary leaves a very different amount in your pocket depending on whether housing comes with it.
Enabled when you pick “Housing allowance (cash)” on the left.
The full-year total of bonuses (an estimate is fine). We add it to the annual figure as it is.
+Add pay breakdown
Enter the amounts printed on your payslip, as they are. We do the adding up, the hourly rates and the conversions on our side.
The "Gross pay that month" box above stays exactly as you typed it — nothing here overwrites it, and the breakdown does not have to add up to it.
The base pay figure as printed on your payslip. Please do not add other allowances into it.
Minimum Guarantee, guaranteed pay, duty allowance — airlines call it different things. Enter it only if it appears on your payslip as an amount separate from base pay. There is no need to work out guaranteed hours × rate — the guaranteed hours are asked above.
Pay that changes month to month with block hours, sectors, standby and so on. Copy across the amount and the name exactly as they appear on your payslip — you never have to work out a rate or a rule.
Captain Allowance, Senior FO Allowance and the like — a monthly allowance attached to your rank, shown separately from base pay. Anything you already entered under “Flight time guarantee / Duty allowance” does not go here. Instructor allowances go in “Instructor / training pay” below; examiner and other roles are asked separately later on.
Any other cash payment. Per diem and housing allowance are asked earlier, so leave those out.
The breakdown adds up to more than the gross pay above. Please check one of the two.
The employer contribution is not added to the annualised total — how it is paid out differs too much by country.
+Add instructor / training pay
Airlines name and pay instructor work in very different ways. Tell us the amount printed on your payslip and what it is paid by. You never have to convert instructor work into hours.
Copy across the wording that appears on your payslip or appointment letter.
Enter the amount as printed on your payslip. Do not enter it again under Rank / position allowance, Variable pay or Other cash allowances — that would count the same money twice.
The breakdown adds up to more than the gross pay above. Please check one of the two.
Copy across how many you did this month. We work out the amount per session.
+Add examiner / check pay
Airlines name and pay check work in very different ways. Tell us the amount printed on your payslip and what it is paid by.
Copy across the title printed on your payslip or letter of appointment.
If it is paid together with instructor pay, the amount you entered under Instructor / training pay already covers it. Do not enter it twice.
Enter the amount as printed on your payslip. Do not enter it again under Instructor / training pay, Rank / position allowance, Variable pay or Other cash allowances — that would count the same money twice.
The breakdown adds up to more than the gross pay above. Please check one of the two.
Copy across how many you did this month. We work out the amount per check.
+Add union / representative pay
Just tell us how the union / representative role shows up in this month's pay. We do not ask what the work involved.
Days off the line, spent on union or pilot representative duties.
Enter the amount as printed on your payslip. Do not enter it again under Rank / position allowance, Variable pay, Other cash allowances, Instructor / training pay or Examiner / check pay — that would count the same money twice.
The breakdown adds up to more than the gross pay above. Please check one of the two.
+Add management / leadership pay
Just tell us how management work shows up in this month's pay. We do not ask which department, or what the work involved.
Days off the line, spent on management or leadership duties. This is what explains a month with few block hours.
Enter the amount as printed on your payslip. Do not enter it again under Rank / position allowance, Variable pay, Other cash allowances, Instructor / training pay, Examiner / check pay or Union / representative pay — that would count the same money twice.
The breakdown adds up to more than the gross pay above. Please check one of the two.
+Add other / non-line assignment pay
Answer this only if you hold an ongoing assignment, posting or secondment alongside line flying. We do not ask which department, which company, or what the work involved.
Days off the line, spent on the duties of this assignment.
Enter the amount as printed on your payslip. Do not enter it again under Rank / position allowance, Variable pay, Other cash allowances, Instructor / training pay, Examiner / check pay, Union / representative pay or Management / leadership pay — that would count the same money twice.
The breakdown adds up to more than the gross pay above. Please check one of the two.
Same gross, very different take-home depending on contract and where you pay tax.
Pick your tax residence and we fill in a rough rate from that country's published table and your annual pay (Japan, the UK, the US, and countries with no income tax). Everywhere else stays blank. It is only an estimate — overwrite it with the figure on your payslip. The tax rate is the one box you can leave blank; you just do not get the take-home estimate.
(from what you entered) —
(gross − bonus paid this month) × 12, plus the annual bonus and profit share.
