Employee Labor Burden Wizard

Ever wondered about your true labor burden costs? Labor burden is more than just an employee's salary. It includes all the additional expenses that a company incurs for having an employee on their payroll. These expenses encompass benefits like payroll taxes, pension contributions, health insurance, dental insurance, and any other perks provided by the company.

But that's not all. Paid time off, such as sick leave, holidays, and training time, also contributes to the labor burden. It's important to consider these costs because they are directly related to employment and can significantly impact a company's bottom line.

Unfortunately, many businesses make the mistake of only focusing on payroll and payroll taxes, neglecting the bigger picture. They fail to recognize the full cost required to enable an employee to perform their job effectively.

To accurately calculate labor burden costs, it's crucial to spread out the overhead expenses across all income-generating employees based on their hours worked. For example, a part-time employee working 20 hours a week will absorb only half as much overhead as a full-time employee working 40 hours a week.

To estimate the total yearly cost spent on an employee, you can express the fully-burdened costs as a yearly total. Alternatively, you can divide the total yearly cost by the number of hours the employee will work to determine the hourly cost. This cost is often 50% to 150% higher than the employee's gross hourly wage.

Understanding the true cost of an employee is essential, as these costs often form the basis for pricing services or products. By gaining an in-depth understanding of labor burden costs, you can make informed decisions and ensure your business remains financially viable.
