Relief Veterinarian Wage Calculator

As relief veterinarians ourselves, we know that it’s sometimes difficult to know exactly what to charge for our services. There are many variables that go into the decision including personal expenses, business expenses, savings goals and the total number of days we want to spend working throughout the year.

In service to the relief vet community, we have created a simple calculator for relief vets to figure out how much to charge for their services. We’ll walk you through each aspect you need to consider, and calculate a number based on your answers. It’s easy and fun to use.
