Start with one base wage. The workbook turns it into a fully burdened hourly cost and the multiplier you can bid and price against.
What is inside
Taken from the kit’s own Start Here guide, so what you see here is what you open after checkout.
How to use it
This workbook layers every employer cost on top of a wage, then divides the all-in cost across the productive hours you really get from the year. The result is the fully burdened hourly cost of a role and the burden multiplier on base pay, the two numbers you use to price work, bid jobs, and cost projects. The components are payroll taxes, health and retirement, paid time not worked, workers compensation, training, equipment, and overhead. The Rate Card tab applies your burden across several roles at once, the Benchmark tab sense-checks each component against current published figures, and the Summary gives the board-ready multiplier and rate. Most office and professional roles land 25 to 45% above base pay, a multiplier of about 1.25 to 1.45; trades, healthcare, and government run higher.
