Use this page when your balance changes and you want to understand why. ## Payroll timing Career payroll runs weekly on Monday at 13:00 UTC. Payroll is not paid after every flight. Flights, bonuses, expenses, and deductions are processed through Career finance rules. ## What payroll can include Payroll can include: * Eligible Career flight hours. * Contract hourly rate. * Rank pay. * Airline tier and regional pay adjustments. * Training pay multiplier. * Reserve pay. * Bid Board bonus. * On-time completion bonus. * Seniority bonus. * Tax or social contribution deductions. * Union dues. * Loan payments. * Loan interest. * Late fees. * Property income. * Rent or housing support. * Daily living costs. * Medical checks. * Personal events. For the economy model behind pay and costs, see [Career Economy and Airline Tiers](/career-economy-tiers). ## Main pay modifiers | Modifier | What it does | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Rank | Higher ranks pay more than lower ranks. | | Airline tier | Higher-tier airlines generally pay better. | | Region | Airline region affects the pay band. | | Training status | Some training contracts pay a reduced rate. | | Reserve | Accepted reserve calls pay 2.0x hourly pay. | | Bid Board | Eligible awarded bid-board flying can add a 15% bonus. | | On-time completion | Eligible on-time work can add an additional bonus. | | Seniority | Longer continuous employment can add a seniority bonus. | ## Ledger glossary The ledger records individual finance events. | Ledger entry | Meaning | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Salary | Career pay from eligible flight work. | | Income tax | Tax or social contribution deduction from payroll. | | Property income | Rental income from owned Career property. | | Rent | Housing cost. | | Housing credit | Employer housing support or sponsored housing adjustment. | | Groceries | Normal recurring living expense. | | Lunch | Normal recurring living expense. | | Restaurant | Higher-cost food or social spending. | | Transport | Routine transport cost. | | Utilities | Household utilities. | | TV subscription | Lifestyle subscription cost. | | Gifts | Personal or social expense. | | Commuting cost | Routine commuting, local transport, explicit repositioning, or capped personal away-from-base overstay costs. | | Union dues | Monthly pilot union membership dues. | | Medical check | Required medical clearance cost. | | Loan disbursement | Money received from a new loan. | | Loan interest | Interest charged on debt. | | Loan repayment | Principal or scheduled repayment on a loan. | | Penalty | Career penalty, cancellation cost, resignation cost, or similar deduction. | | Training cost | Pilot share of type-rating or training cost. | | Property purchase | Down payment or purchase cost for Career property. | | Adjustment | Manual or system correction. | ## 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. ## Protected take-home FlyHub caps normal mandatory deductions at 25% of gross weekly payroll. Tax, housing, normal living costs, and normal commuting share this combined limit. The ledger can still show each category separately. When the uncapped total is too high, FlyHub reduces the applied entries so their combined charge stays within the limit. Loans, voluntary union dues, penalties, property purchases, medical charges, and personal events are processed separately and can reduce take-home below 75%. ## Away-from-base ledger entries Away-from-base time from company flying is airline-covered. It should not appear as a lodging penalty or hidden overnight charge. A commuting cost entry can include a small personal away-from-base overstay cost only when you stay away from base for more than 48 hours without accepted company work or an active/upcoming Career booking from that airport. You may still see commuting cost entries for normal weekly commuting, local transport, or explicit repositioning such as a jumpseat ticket. If a repositioning action is airline-sponsored, the app can show it as company-covered and avoid charging your Career balance. Older ledger history may still show previous away-from-base wording, but normal company layovers should not create hotel or overnight stay charges. For the full explanation, see [Career Finance](/career-finance#away-from-base-expenses). ## 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.
