Firefighter shift calculators & tools
Every RescueShift calculator in one place. Project your rotation, plan your Kelly days, and check your overtime against the real FLSA 7(k) threshold. Free, no account, built for fire and EMS crews.
Shift calculators
Enter one on-duty date and see your exact on and off days for the next two years, plus the hours each rotation averages per week. Pick the pattern your department runs.
24/48 Shift Calculator
24 hours on, 48 off across three platoons. Project your tour dates and confirm the ~56-hour weekly average.
48/96 Shift Calculator
48 hours on, 96 off. Same weekly hours as a 24/48 but with longer breaks. Map your tours and days off.
24/72 Shift Calculator
24 on, 72 off on a four-platoon rotation that averages ~42 hours a week and stays under the FLSA cap.
3-Platoon Schedule
The classic A / B / C swing. See which platoon is on duty on any date and how the cycle repeats.
Kelly days & FLSA overtime
The tools that turn a rotation into hours and dollars: project your Kelly days and check your work period against the FLSA 7(k) overtime threshold.
Kelly Day Calculator
Project 24 months of Kelly days on any rotation, total your annual hours, and pull your average under the FLSA cap.
FLSA 7(k) Overtime Calculator
Fire overtime is not a 40-hour week. Enter your hours over a 7 to 28 day work period and get OT against the 212-hour cap.
Rotation comparisons
Deciding between two schedules? These side-by-side breakdowns compare hours, days off, and the tradeoffs your crew will actually feel.
Keep the whole rotation in one place
Beyond the calculators, RescueShift keeps your whole rotation, trades, and coverage in one place, synced across your phone and the web. Free for individual firefighters and EMTs.
