Understand the result
Method & assumptions
Whole hires = ceiling(demand ÷ productive hours per hire). Hiring cost = hires × (paid hours × rate + benefits + setup). Overtime = demand × user-supplied overtime rate.
Hypothetical worked example
120 productive hours at $45 overtime cost $5,400. A 160-hour hire at $30 plus $800 benefits and $1,000 setup costs $6,600.
Scope and limitations
- User-entered planning assumptions, not verified market data or a professional determination.
- This is not a payroll-law calculator. Supply the applicable rates; do not average workweeks to remove overtime.
