Payroll summary

The payroll summary can explain the larger weekly result. Use it to see:
  • Paid hours.
  • Effective hourly rate.
  • Bonuses.
  • Deductions.
  • Loan payments.
  • Living expenses.
  • Medical status.
  • Credit score changes.
If the ledger shows many entries on the same day, the payroll summary is usually the easiest place to understand the full week.

Loans and credit

Loans affect future payroll because payments are recurring. Missed loan payments can:
  • Add late fees.
  • Reduce credit score.
  • Reduce reputation.
  • Lead to loan default after repeated missed payments.
Do not judge affordability only by current balance. Check the weekly payment pressure in Finance.

Property income

Property income belongs only to Career Mode. Property can help long-term cash flow, but the upfront cost can make your short-term balance risky. Buy property only when you can still cover medical checks, loans, relocation, training, and normal living costs.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting payroll immediately after each flight.
  • Reading Account history as a future forecast.
  • Missing loan pressure because the current balance looks healthy.
  • Forgetting that bonuses can appear only when the related flying is processed.
  • Ignoring small recurring living costs.
  • Confusing Free Flight XP with Career payroll.
