How it works

Crewing companies usually count a month as 30 days when converting a daily rate to a monthly wage (a daily rate of 300 $ is 9,000 $ a month); some use 30.42 (365 / 12). Check your contract.

The contract end keeps the day of the month (4 November + 4 months = 4 March; 31 January + 1 month = 28 or 29 February). Days on board count both the sign-on and the sign-off day. Leave: MLC requires at least 2.5 calendar days per month of employment; many contracts give more.

Tax, allowances, overtime and deductions are not included.
