Calculation Methodology
Our Staff Cost Calculator utilizes industry-standard metrics to determine the fully-loaded cost of employment. While base salary is the most visible expense, the true cost includes mandatory taxes, insurance, benefits, paid time off, and operational overhead.
Furthermore, discretionary benefits such as health insurance, retirement contributions, and non-productive time can significantly increase the burden rate.
We define the Burden Rate Multiplier as the total cost of an employee divided by their base salary.
A typical multiplier ranges from 1.25x to 1.40x, depending on the robustness of the benefits package and industry risk profile.
