IT SUPPORT - EMPLOYEE TRUE COST CALCULATOR

Why Outsource?

The calculator below covers the main annual costs and factors associated with employees to determine an employee true hourly cost to your business.

The default figures in the calculator below are typical that a business may experience for an internal IT employee.
Please adjust the figures for your actual employee and business experience.

Note - The dominating factors that determine the employee true hourly cost are the employee activity factor and the employee efficiency factor that you experience. 100% activity is achievable by out-sourcing (you only pay for time worked), and by out-sourcing to specialists the efficiency factor also tends towards 100%. Productivity percentage is measured as the 'employee activity percentage' multiplied by the 'employee efficiency percentage'.

Employee True Cost Results

Employee true cost per active hour = £88.93 per hour

This is calcuated as follows:

1) Employee cost per paid day (260.9 days pa) = £48,998 / 260.9 = £187.80 per day

2) Employee cost per attended day (206.2 days pa) = £48,998 / 206.2 = £237.62 per day

3) Employee cost per attended hour (7 hour day) = £237.62 / 7 = £33.95 per hour

4) Employee cost per managed attended hour = £33.95 x 110% = £37.35 per hour

5) Assuming the employee is 60% active on each attended day (personal emails, refreshment breaks, social chatting etc):
Employee cost per active hour = £37.35 / 60% = £62.25 per hour

6) The final factor is how efficient is the employee in his/her job relative to the equivalent out-sourced specialist. If the employee works at 70% of the efficiency of a specialist, then the final result is:

Employee true cost per active hour = £62.25 / 70% = £88.93 per hour

NOTE - There are many other costs associated with employees than have not been allowed for in the default calculation above (e.g. company vehicle provision). Please use the 'other' form entries to adjust your calculation.

Employee Productivity:	42%	Calculated as (Employee Activity %) x (Employee Efficiency %)
Employee True Hourly Cost:	£88.93	per hour
