Lagos Life job calculator
Unofficial guide. Game details change often, so confirm them in game.
Tell the tool your skill levels and how many days a week you can work. It ranks the jobs you can apply for today by weekly income, then names the smallest skill raise that unlocks a better-paying one. Entry pay is the figure the in-game Jobs app shows a new hire; the top-of-career numbers further down are third-party reports.
Your skills and available days
Set each skill to the level shown in your game, then pick how many days you can play this week.

What this job calculator shows
- The best job you can start today — the highest weekly income among the jobs whose requirements you already meet.
- Weekly income, not just pay per shift — entry pay times the shifts you would actually work, so a lower-paid six-day job can beat a higher-paid four-day one.
- The next unlock — the smallest skill raise that opens a better-paying job, so you know which skill to train next.
- Every job open to you — the full ranked list across Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
How weekly pay works in Lagos Life
Every job runs on 1-hour shifts for a set number of days a week, and you are paid when a shift ends. Your weekly income is simply pay per shift times the shifts you work, so a career that allows six shifts can out-earn one with a bigger single shift that only runs four or five days. Working fewer days than a job allows is not a penalty — you just earn less that week. Skill requirements (usually skill 3) gate the higher-paying jobs: Refining, Airport Staff, Banking and Tech are open from day one, while Medicine, Aviation, Product Management, Oil & Gas, Real Estate, Broadcasting and the Civil Service lines need a skill at level 3 first.

We could not confirm these figures. The game's Jobs list only shows entry pay, and level 5 takes a long climb, so treat this table as a rumour rather than data. It comes from a fan wiki and is included so you can see the shape of each career.
Job calculator FAQ
Is there a Lagos Life job calculator?
Yes, this page. Set your seven skill levels and the days a week you can work, and it ranks every job you can apply for today by weekly income.
How does the calculator pick the best job?
It checks every job whose requirements you meet, works out weekly income as entry pay per shift times the shifts you would actually work, and shows the highest. It also names the smallest skill raise that unlocks a better-paying job.
Why is the pay here lower than some other sites?
The in-game Jobs app shows what a new hire earns, which is the starting grade. Community lists often quote the full rate you only reach after climbing the ranks, which is roughly 15% higher. Both numbers can be correct — see the full jobs page for the side-by-side.
Does it include Abuja and Port Harcourt jobs?
Yes. It covers all 33 jobs in the game across Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
Does the calculator include level-5 pay?
No. It ranks the pay you can earn today, which is the entry grade the game shows. Level-5 numbers are unconfirmed third-party reports and are listed separately above.
