Pager fatigue: Making the invisible work visible. Register now
We've all done it: "that'll be simple, I'll just write a quick script and..."
In the case of calculating on-call pay, we really have done it before: our team have built the on-call pay scripts for several companies, and each attempt was a painful, error prone process.
While we believe everyone on-call should be paid for their inconvenience, relying on someones side-project or back-of-napkin maths to calculate pay leads to mistakes, frustration, and wasted time.
So today we’re making our on-call pay calculator free for everyone to use, regardless of whether they use incident.io or not: https://incident.io/on-call/
Unlike a home-grown solution, our calculator:
Here’s what some of our users have said after using it:
We tested the calculator for May’s payments and it matches exactly (actually, it found a 10p mistake I made) our manual count, that took me ages 😅 and an elaborate spreadsheet. Will definitely be using going forward!
amazing that it has to come from outside PagerDuty - but this is such a great step forward for the industry. It should be trivial to pay people for participating in on-call
I signed up to use your On-call pay calculator (it was going to be a future hackathon project of mine!) and it’s fantastic. My life just got so much easier!
If you’d be interested in giving it a go, check out these instructions.
We built an open-source MCP server that lets Claude directly access and manage your incident.io incidents through natural conversation. Instead of switching between tools when things break, you can now ask Claude to create incidents, update statuses, and pull context, all while staying in your existing workflow.
Although we have flexible working, we love being in-person. This covers some of the reasons that we're office first - including building connections, working at pace, and having a lovely time doing it.
We launched our list of Top engineering voices to follow in 2025 to spotlight those engineers who aren’t just building behind the scenes, but also writing, posting, and contributing in ways that make the whole community smarter.
