ClockJoy vs a salary calculator
A salary calculator answers “what should this paycheck be.” ClockJoy answers “how far through today am I.” One reconciles money. The other keeps you company.
| ClockJoy | Salary / timesheet calculator | |
|---|---|---|
| Main output | Estimated earnings, progress, countdown | Gross pay, overtime, shift totals |
| Accuracy goal | A fair estimate from your settings | Match payroll rules as closely as possible |
| Lock Screen widgets | Core | Usually secondary |
| Payroll proof | No | Still not a legal paycheck, but closer to accounting |
| Tax | No | Sometimes |
ClockJoy spreads the pay and hours you enter across scheduled work time. Overtime can be logged as time. It is not folded into “earned today” as if extra hours were already settled.
If a review says “the number does not match my payslip,” that is expected. Use ClockJoy to finish the day. Use payroll software to finish the month.
