Layvr estimates duty pay, per diem, and overnights from your roster - then compares that to your payslip line by line.
This page covers pay features inside Layvr. Want to check a payslip? See the cabin crew pay calculator. For pilots comparing salary tools, see flight crew salary calculator.
Airline pay structures vary. Depending on your contract, pay may be based on duty hours, block hours, sectors, credited hours, allowances or a combination of these. Layvr uses the rules configured for your airline and profile, so you have a number before payroll posts.
No spreadsheet gymnastics.
Figures are estimates based on your roster data - always confirm against your airline's official payroll.
Overnight allowances are split into taxable and non-taxable elements, and they can be difficult to verify manually, particularly when rates, tax treatment or roster changes are involved. Layvr counts your away nights from your roster and applies the rate configured for your airline, surfacing differences such as missed overnights, timezone issues or incorrect configured rates.
Per diem is usually calculated per hour or per night away from base, though the basis varies by airline and jurisdiction, and it adds up. Layvr tracks every hour from departure to return, applies your per diem rate, and separates the taxable from the non-taxable element so you know exactly what to expect.
Live per diem for your current layover is included in Layvr Free. Full historical tracking, spending analysis and advanced per diem insights require Layvr Pro.
Upload your payslip and Layvr compares it against your roster-derived estimate. Any line that doesn't match is flagged with the expected figure and the actual figure, so you know exactly what to query with payroll.
Payslip errors are more common than most crew realise, timezone miscalculations, missed overnights, wrong seniority bands. The payslip checker catches them automatically.
Payslip checker is a Layvr Pro feature, available with Layvr Pro. Learn more about the payslip checker

Duty pay is calculated per hour from your report time to your release time, not from wheels-up to wheels-down. This means ground delays, boarding time, and post-flight duties all count. Your airline applies a fixed hourly rate to the total duty hours in each duty period.
Per diem is an hourly or daily allowance for every hour spent away from base, covering meals and incidentals. Overnight allowance is a separate payment for each night spent away from home base. Some airlines pay both; some combine them into a single away-from-base allowance.
Overnight allowances are usually split into a non-taxable element (approved by HMRC as a genuine expense reimbursement) and a taxable element above the approved rate. The split depends on your airline's specific rates and your tax authority's approved limits.
Holiday-pay rules vary by jurisdiction and by the nature of each payment. Variable earnings may need to be included in some circumstances, while genuine expense reimbursements may be treated differently. Check your contract, payroll department, union or employment adviser.
