Compare

Compare opportunities on equal footing.

Enter two opportunities with the same inputs. MoonlightMD shows the factual differences — you make the call.

Opportunity A

Compensation

What the opportunity pays and how often you would work.

A label for your own reference. Don't include employer, patient, or personal details.

The advertised or contracted hourly compensation.

Paid clinical hours per shift.

Decimals are fine — e.g. 1.5 for three shifts every two months.

Employment type

For your reference only — it does not change the calculation. Taxes, benefits, and deductible expenses differ between W-2 and 1099 work in ways that depend on your situation.

Hidden time

Time the opportunity requires that is not paid clinical time.

Counted twice per shift for the round trip.

Average unpaid charting time after a shift ends.

Early arrival, sign-out, callbacks, or other unpaid time.

Recurring unpaid work such as scheduling, required meetings, training, or credentialing maintenance. Leave out one-time initial credentialing.

Expenses

Costs you pay out of pocket because of this work.

Tolls, transit fares, or mileage you are not reimbursed for.

Only costs specifically caused by this work — e.g. incremental malpractice coverage or required subscriptions. Not ordinary personal expenses.

Income goal

Optional. Shows how many hours and shifts it would take to reach this gross amount.
