How OPI pay works

Per-minute pay

Your rate times the minutes you're paid for. Your contract says whether hold or waiting time counts.

Hourly pay

Your rate times the hours you're paid for. Enter paid hours, not every hour you're available.

Paid call time

For per-minute pay, the share of your scheduled time you're paid for. Try a few values to see how much it changes the result.

Common questions

How much do OPI interpreters make?

It depends on your rate and how much of your time is paid. Enter the rate from your own offer or contract to see what it adds up to.

What is a good per-minute rate for OPI?

A rate alone doesn't tell you enough. Check how many paid calls you get, whether hold or waiting time is paid, minimum guarantees, employment status, benefits and expenses.

What is interpreter utilization rate?

The share of your scheduled time you're paid for. Divide paid minutes by scheduled minutes (scheduled hours × 60), then multiply by 100.

Per-minute vs hourly: which pays better?

Compare which time is paid, not just the rate. The hourly result multiplies your rate by paid hours. The per-minute result also uses your paid call time. Both count 52 weeks a year, and a monthly salary counts 12 months.
