How Weekly Pay Works in Lagos Life
You are paid when each shift ends. Every career has a different weekly schedule — some work 4 shifts a week, some 5 or 6 — so the highest pay per shift and the highest pay per week are usually different jobs. Weekly income is simply pay per shift × the shifts you actually work: taking fewer shifts than your schedule allows just means earning less that week, with no penalty. Promotions need 100% performance plus a skill requirement (typically 1 → 3 → 5 → 7 as you climb levels), and tax only applies after the first ₦1,000,000 earned in a week.
Questions
Job Calculator FAQ
Is there a Lagos Life job calculator?
Yes — this page. Enter all seven skill levels (Coding, Charisma, Music, Hustle, Cooking, Fitness, Comedy) plus your available days per week, and it ranks the jobs you actually qualify for by pay. Other Lagos Life tools compare careers side by side or budget a single salary, but none take your numeric skill levels and compute your personal best-paying job.
How accurate is the data?
Pay numbers are community-compiled as of 2026-10-06 and not yet verified in-game. Lagos Life updates frequently — if a number looks different in game, the game is right.
Does the calculator include every career?
Yes — all 21 careers and 105 job levels. See the full jobs table at lagoslifetools.com/jobs for every level and salary, or the best job rankings at lagoslifetools.com/best-job for the top picks by shift, hour, and week.
