Why Trust us?

How is your payrate calculated?

At SkillGigs, we believe in transparency. Here’s a breakdown of how your pay: 

Base Pay

This depends on how much you earn per hour, how many hours you work each day, and how long your assignment is. For example, if you work 7 hours a day at $75/hour for 13 weeks, your base pay is ($75/hour * 7 hours/day * 13 weeks). 

Housing Stipend

Since you need a place to stay during assignments, we provide a weekly housing stipend. 

Meals & Incidentals

We give you a weekly stipend to cover meals and other small costs. 

Add these up for your Gross Pay. But we’re not done. 

Taxes

Depending on where you work, we take taxes out of your gross pay. For example, if you’re in Houston, local tax rates apply. 

So, your Net Pay = Gross Pay – Taxes 

Factors That Affect Your Pay 

A few things can change how much you take home: 

Taxes

As we said, taxes can really affect your pay. It changes based on where you work and your personal stuff. 

Type of Jobs

If you’re an LLC or a W-2 employee, it can change what you make.

Where you work

Different places have different costs of living and taxes, which can change your stipends and pay. 

Extra Work

Doing more hours can make you earn more.

Benefits

Choosing benefits like health insurance can affect your pay. 

Remember, your pay isn’t just the hourly rate. It’s everything together. At SkillGigs, we aim to give our travel nurses good pay and benefits.
