Lagos Life Salary and Budget Calculator: Pay After Rent
Free Lagos Life calculator: pick a career, level and home to see weekly pay after rent and the Lapo loan, and how many weeks to save for your next move.
Use this calculator to see what a Lagos Life career really leaves you each week. Choose a job and a level, pick your home, switch the Lapo loan on or off, and the calculator subtracts rent and loan repayments from your weekly pay. Add a target home and it tells you how many weeks it takes to save the move-in cost. All numbers come from the game’s data tables, checked on October 6, 2026.

Pay per shift and rent are from the game's data tables, checked October 6, 2026. Real payouts, promotions and daily costs are not modelled.
How the numbers are worked out
- Weekly pay is the pay per shift for your level multiplied by the shifts you work per week. Each career starts with its normal number of working days; change it if you skip a day.
- Rent is the weekly rent of your home, collected every Saturday. A Nepo Baby’s Lekki flat is paid by Daddy, so its rent is zero.
- Lapo loan is ₦12,000 a week for 6 weeks (you borrow ₦60,000 and repay ₦72,000).
- Move-in cost is three times the weekly rent of the home you move to. Your furniture comes with you.
- Weeks to save adds up what is left each week, using the loan period for the first 6 weeks, until it reaches the move-in cost.
Three quick examples
| Start | Weekly pay | Rent and loan | Left each week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lapo Baby, Tech Intern, Yaba, 5 shifts | ₦49,500 | ₦6,000 + ₦12,000 | ₦31,500 |
| Lapo Baby, Banking Marketer, Yaba, 5 shifts | ₦58,000 | ₦6,000 + ₦12,000 | ₦40,000 |
| Nepo Baby, Branch Manager, Lekki, 5 shifts | ₦157,500 | none | ₦157,500 |
These are before food, travel and fun, which the “other weekly spending” box lets you add. The price guide lists typical costs, and the jobs guide lists the pay for every level.
What the calculator does not do
It does not model promotions (how fast Performance and skills rise), taxes, businesses or land, and it assumes you are paid the listed amount for every shift you work. We have not yet observed a full payslip in the game, so treat the result as a plan, not a promise. Details of each home are in the housing guide.
Questions
