Know Your Pay

Protect Your Income

FilmPay calculates what your workday should pay, verifies it against your paystub, and shows you exactly where the numbers match - or don't.

❗Overtime, meal penalties, premiums, negotiated rates, deductions and payroll adjustments can make film pay difficult to verify. FilmPay does the math for you.

Why Film Performers Lose Money

Film pay isn't one simple hourly rate. A single workday can involve overtime, meal penalties, travel, wardrobe, stat pay, allowances, negotiated rates and other conditions - all calculated under complex union and payroll rules.

The problem? Most performers never independently verify the final calculation.

Commonly Missed or Incorrect Pay:

  • Overtime & double time

  • Meal penalties & premiums

  • Wardrobe, hair, makeup, travel & allowances

  • Stat holiday & turnaround pay

  • Negotiated rates & guarantees

  • GST, commissions & deductions

  • Small discrepancies across multiple workdays

One missed payment may be small. Over an entire year, those discrepancies can add up.

FilmPay gives you an independent calculation of what you should have earned - so you know what to look for when the paystub arrives.

How FilmPay Works

From workday to verified pay in 3 simple steps.

  • Step 1 - Track Your Workday

Enter your workday details - date, production, role, call and wrap times, meals, travel, rentals, allowances and any other applicable conditions.

FilmPay calculates what you should have earned using your rates and union rules.

  • Step 2 - Upload Your Paystub

When you're paid, upload your paystub. FilmPay securely reads the payroll information and connects it to the workdays you've already tracked.

No manual rebuilding your paystubs or trying to decipher every payroll line yourself

  • Step 3 - Verify Your Pay

FilmPay compares what you expected to earn against what payroll actually paid and shows you where the numbers match - or don't.

See discrepancies in overtime, premiums, mileage, GST, deductions, net pay and more.

Track, Understand & Take Control of Your Film Income

FilmPay gives union performers a clear, reliable way to track workdays, verify payroll, and catch missing or incorrect pay - before it becomes a problem.

Real Results Using FilmPay

Real examples of how FilmPay helps Performers verify pay, stay organized, and take control of their film income

$100,000+ Pay Verified | 200+ Workdays Verified | $250+ Missing Pay Recovered

1. 💰 Missing Pay Found & Recovered

Catch Missing Pay Before It Gets Missed

FilmPay compares what you should have earned against what payroll actually paid, helping uncover discrepancies that can otherwise be easy to overlook. The system that became FilmPay has already helped identify and recover missing pay from real performer workdays.

Over a 12-month period, FilmPay helped me identify and recover $255.06 in missing pay that I otherwise may never have noticed.

Founder of FilmPay - UBCP/ACTRA Member (20+ Years)

“I built FilmPay because I realized how easy it is to miss money you’re rightfully owed - especially once productions wrap.”

Callum G.

Actor, Stand In & Background Performer - UBCP/ACTRA Member (15+ Years)

"There was so much going on with that day that I never would have known how to calculate it myself. FilmPay broke it down and showed exactly how the pay worked."

2. Complex Workdays - Calculated to the Penny

Even Complex Film Pay Can Be Verified

Sixth consecutive days, multiple categories, premiums and compounding rules can make a single workday surprisingly difficult to calculate.

During testing, FilmPay successfully calculated an unusually complex sixth-consecutive-day workday down to the penny - including the result both with and without the applicable 300% maximum compounding effect cap.

3. Know Exactly Where Your Income Stands Throughout the Year

More Than a Pay Calculator

FilmPay keeps your workdays, earnings, payments and agency fees organized throughout the year - giving you a clearer picture of what you've earned, what's been paid and what may still be outstanding. Across FilmPay's development and early testing, more than $100,000 in performer pay across 200+ workdays has been successfully verified through the system.
