About this app

Teaching's hard enough. The rest shouldn't be.

ChalkPay is the free companion for everything that comes with being an educator but never made it into your training — your paycheck, your budget, your time off, your career, and your classroom. One app, built around the way schools actually pay and treat their staff.

KNOW YOUR PAYCHECK
Enter your salary, supplements, and deductions once, and ChalkPay shows what your take-home should be — every pay period, all year long. Log the checks you actually receive and instantly see if something's off, right down to the line item. No more wondering whether your district got it right.

BUDGET WITHOUT THE SPREADSHEET
Turn your real take-home into a plan. Sort spending into categories, see it all at a glance, and start from a simple 50/30/20 split you can reshape to fit your life. Set savings goals — including a summer fund for the months without a paycheck.

MAKE YOUR TIME OFF COUNT
Keep sick, personal, and vacation balances in one place, and see what a day off is actually worth in real take-home pay. Plan leave ahead, watch your balances on a calendar, and get a nudge if you're using days faster than you earn them.

PLAN YOUR CAREER
See where your pay is headed over the years, not just this paycheck. Model raises, lane changes, and "what if" scenarios, and watch how small moves today add up to real money over a career.

RUN YOUR CLASSROOM
Build a supply list and share it with a single link — families can claim and fund items, and you can thank them right back. Track every out-of-pocket dollar you spend on your students so nothing slips through the cracks at tax time.

A MIRROR, NOT A GUIDE
ChalkPay never assumes your salary or tells you what your numbers "should" be. You set every rule — your pay schedule, your deductions, your district's quirks — and the app reflects your real situation back to you, accurately. Any defaults are clearly labeled suggestions you're free to change.

BUILT FOR HOW EDUCATORS REALLY GET PAID
• 10-month and 12-month pay schedules, summer reserves, and mid-year anchors
• Percentage and flat-dollar deductions, pre-tax and post-tax
• Stipends, supplements, and extra W-2 or 1099 income
• Made for classroom teachers, counselors, coaches, and media specialists

PRIVATE AND FREE
ChalkPay is free to use. We don't sell your data and we don't show ads. Your information stays yours — export it anytime, or delete your account and your data along with it.

Teaching's hard enough. Let ChalkPay handle the rest.
