We just made every FairWork Mate calculator free to embed — one line of HTML

Every Australian workplace calculator on FairWork Mate — all 146 of them — is now embeddable on any other site with one line of HTML. No registration, no API key, no fee. Free for personal use, free for commercial use, free for unions, free for accounting firms, free for payroll software companies who want better-than-Wikipedia tools in their docs.

The catalogue is at fairworkmate.com.au/embed. Pick the calculator, copy the snippet, paste it into your site. Done.

If you're already using an FWM calculator on a tool page, scroll to the bottom — there's a new “Embed this calculator on your site” expander on every tool that gives you the code for that specific calculator without leaving the page.

Three reasons.

1. The pay calculator that's actually current. Most embedded calculators on the AU internet are five years out of date. We refresh ours the day the Fair Work Commission publishes new rates, the day the ATO updates tax brackets, the day the Annual Wage Review decision drops. When you embed FWM, your readers always get the right answer — without you having to remember to update anything.

2. Citation-grade output. Every FWM calculator cites its source — the Fair Work Act section, the modern award, the FWC decision, the ATO ruling. When your readers click through to the full version, they see the workings. For HR blogs, accountants, and lawyers, that traceability is the difference between a useful widget and a liability.

3. We grew faster when other people put us in their pages. The Fair Work Ombudsman calculator gets embedded everywhere. So does the ATO's PAYG estimator. Distribution is the moat. We'd rather have our calculator in 500 places than try to drive 500 people to ours.

Anyone publishing a page that would benefit from a working calculator:

• HR blogs — embed the redundancy calculator in your redundancy article. Reader does the maths without leaving your page. You keep them on your domain.
• Payroll software companies — drop the take-home pay calculator into your knowledge base, the super calculator into your onboarding docs, the back-pay calculator into your underpayment-correction help article.
• Accounting firms — embed the EOFY super calculator and tax-time tools on your client-facing pages. Show clients the numbers in context.
• Recruitment agencies — salary-to-hourly converter on every job ad page. Better candidate experience, fewer pre-screen questions.
• Workplace lawyers — eligibility checkers (unfair dismissal, general protections, redundancy, sham contracting) on intake pages. Pre-qualify enquiries before the call.
• Unions — let members check minimum wage + award rates from the member portal.
• Workplace media — drop a calculator into any tax-time, wage-rise, or leave-entitlement article.
• Internal HR teams — put the leave calculator on the staff intranet. People stop emailing HR for things they can self-serve.

If your page is about Australian workplace law, pay, leave, or compliance — there's probably an FWM calculator that fits.

You paste a one-line iframe into your CMS. WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Notion, Confluence, SharePoint, raw HTML — anywhere that allows an <iframe> tag.

<iframe
  src="https://fairworkmate.com.au/embed/pay-calculator?partner=YOUR_NAME"
  width="100%"
  height="800"
  frameborder="0"

Swap pay-calculator for any of the 146 tool slugs (the catalogue at fairworkmate.com.au/embed lists them with a copy-button). Replace YOUR_NAME with your site identifier so we can credit the referral traffic to you in our analytics — optional but appreciated.

The widget renders FWM's calculator with compact branding (small logo top-right, "Powered by FairWork Mate" footer). It's mobile-responsive. It opens its own help context. It posts back the result for parent-page resize. We update it; you don't.

Here's the pay calculator, embedded live in this blog post (the same iframe you'd paste into your own site):

Try it. Change the salary. Toggle HECS. The result updates exactly as it does on the full FWM tool page. The only thing missing is our site nav, footer, and ads — so your readers see your content around the calculator, not ours.

• Free for any use — personal, commercial, not-for-profit.
• Keep the attribution. The "Powered by FairWork Mate" line and logo must stay visible. That's the deal — you get the calculator free, we get the credit.
• No removal of FWM branding. If you want a white-label version with your own branding, email hello@fairworkmate.com.au — we offer that under a paid licence.
• No scraping. The widget is for human users, not to feed another product. We rate-limit at the iframe level.
• We're not your lawyer. The widget shows estimates and general information. Same disclaimer as the full FairWork Mate site applies — see our terms.

Three things we're shipping next on the widget side:

1. Custom theming — partners on the white-label tier will be able to match the widget to their site's brand (colours, fonts, border radius).
2. API access — if you'd rather not iframe and want the calculator results as JSON for your own UI, that's coming in June.
3. Bulk audit endpoints — for payroll providers and HRIS platforms that want to run hundreds of underpayment checks at once.

If any of these would unblock something you're building, email hello@fairworkmate.com.au and we'll prioritise based on what people actually ask for.

Otherwise — go embed something. The catalogue is at fairworkmate.com.au/embed.
