How this is calculated
Enter the wage and the additional costs you pay for each worker. Paid leave reduces the hours available for production. Divide total annual employment cost by productive hours and apply that rate to the job.
Frequently asked questions
Is paid leave added twice?
No. The wages for leave are already in paid hours. The calculator deducts the leave hours from productive hours without subtracting their wages.
What goes in other hourly costs?
Use employer expenses paid per paid hour, such as an allowance. Enter insurance in its own field if it is an annual charge.
How do I estimate a crew?
Enter the number of workers and their on-site hours. The sample assumes a common hourly wage and burden for that crew.
