How the Lagos Life salary calculator works
This calculator reads the career definitions checked on . Each job supplies its city-facing workplace, start time, shift length, work days, skill and five promotion levels. The displayed per-shift figure is the base pay attached to the selected level. Weekly pay multiplies that amount by the number of scheduled work days. Per-game-hour pay divides the shift amount by the listed shift duration and rounds to the nearest game naira.
Those three views answer different questions. Per-shift pay shows what one completed work period starts from. Weekly base pay helps with recurring costs such as rent. Per-game-hour pay makes shifts of different lengths easier to compare, but it does not include travel, food, missed work, waiting time or the effort required to qualify. A high number is not automatically the best career for a new character.
Compare jobs at the level you actually have
The table ranks every visible career at your selected level. That matters because comparing one job's entry position with another job's final promotion gives a misleading answer. Use the city filter to focus on Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt. Workplace IDs beginning with “ph” are treated as Port Harcourt, IDs beginning with “abj” are Abuja, and the rest are Lagos. The city label also distinguishes the two Civil Service careers that otherwise share a name.
The no-skills switch excludes careers with an entry requirement in the checked data. It does not promise that every remaining role is instantly available in every save. Read the entry requirement and promotion skill, then confirm the live Jobs screen before committing to a route. Promotions can require skill levels and satisfactory work performance. The jobs guide explains the application flow and the difference between applying for work and attending a scheduled shift.
Why your completed shift can pay a different amount
The public data contains base values, not a full simulation of each character. Performance, education, traits, background and other modifiers can change real shift results. Older guides can also use a different game economy. For example, third-party tables may show smaller Music or Aviation entry figures than the data used here. Treat the calculator as a dated planning estimate and your completed shift as the final evidence for your save.
When weekly income is your main concern, open the rent calculatorwith the selected job and level. It combines salary with a home's weekly rent, the three-week upfront rent amount, savings and optional weekly costs. For a fuller spending routine, use the money guide. Every amount here is fictional Lagos Life currency and cannot be cashed out.
