2027 Shift Worker Planner — Shift Calendar, Both-Off Days & Overtime Estimator (Excel + Google Sheets)
Plan your whole 2027 around your rotation in about 5 minutes. Pick your shift pattern, enter one date you worked, and the planner fills in every day of the year, shows when you and your partner are both off, and estimates your pay and overtime.

• Team offset for A/B/C/D crews
• Full-year 2027 calendar + 12 printable month pages (one landscape page each) with notes
• "Both Off" view: add a partner's rotation and see every shared day off, counted per month
