Compare two cardiology locum offers using effective hourly value after call, unpaid time, travel costs, and cancellation exposure.
Direct answer: The best locum offer is not necessarily the highest headline rate. This tool normalizes two offers into risk-adjusted effective hourly value using the exact pay, workload, travel, and cancellation assumptions you enter.

How this calculator works
- 1. Gross value equals rate × paid hours + separate call/procedure pay.
- 2. Risk-adjusted value reduces net assignment value by the user-entered cancellation probability.
- 3. Effective hourly value divides by paid plus unpaid travel, administrative, and recovery time.
Sources and version
Every result includes its evidence version. Official sources outrank secondary summaries, and user-entered scenario assumptions remain visibly separate from published facts.
