Travel Nurse Pay Calculator

Stop guessing your travel healthcare contract earnings. Staffing agency pay packages are confusing — splitting pay between taxable base hourly wages, non-taxable GSA per diem housing/meals stipends, overtime multipliers, and travel reimbursements. A contract offering "$3,200/week in California" might net significantly less cash in your pocket than "$2,500/week in Florida" once high state income taxes and expensive duplicate living expenses are factored in. Travel Nurse Pay Calculator is the precision financial calculator built specifically for travel nurses (RN, LPN, NP) and allied healthcare travelers (RT, PT, OT, imaging techs) across the United States and Canada. WHAT YOU CAN CALCULATE IN SECONDS: • True Net Weekly Take-Home Pay: Exact in-pocket earnings calculated after Federal, State/Provincial, and FICA/CPP/EI payroll taxes. • Duplicate Living Expenses: Amortize your permanent tax home rent/mortgage and contract housing (Furnished Finder, Airbnb) into clear weekly deductions. • Effective Hourly Rate: Reveal what your blended taxable wages and non-taxable stipends equal as a true hourly wage. • 13-Week Contract Total: See your total net earnings for the full assignment, including one-time travel/relocation allowances. • IRS & CRA Audit Risk Meter: Visual safety gauge that checks your base-to-stipend ratio to help prevent wage reclassification tax traps. • All 50 US States & 10 Canadian Provinces: Full state and provincial income tax calculations, including 0% income tax states (TX, FL, WA, TN, NV, AK, SD, WY). • Cross-Border FX Engine: Seamless USD ↔ CAD currency conversion for Canadian nurses on TN visas and US nurses in Canada.
