What Layvr calculates for pilots

Airline pilot pay is rarely just a salary. It is a combination of base pay, block hour rates, per diem, sector pay, overnight allowances, and standby credits - each calculated differently per airline. Layvr reads your imported duties and breaks it all down.

Duty pay

Calculated from report and release times, not just block hours. Every minute on duty counted.

Common questions about pilot pay

How is pilot pay calculated?

Pilot pay typically includes a base salary, flight pay per block hour or duty hour, per diem for time away from base, and additional allowances for overnight stays. The structure varies by airline and collective agreement. Layvr calculates an estimate from your imported roster and airline pay rules.

What is per diem for pilots?

Per diem is an hourly or daily allowance paid to pilots for time spent away from home base. Rates vary by airline and destination. Layvr tracks per diem hour by hour against your roster.

Is Layvr's calculator accurate for my airline?

Layvr uses airline-specific pay rules where available. The calculator provides estimates - always confirm against official payroll. Payslip verification (Layvr Pro) catches line-level discrepancies automatically.
