Labor Cost Calculator

Calculate labor costs based on hours and rates.

How It Works

Labor cost = Hours × Hourly rate × Crew size.

Example

8 hours × $50/hr × 3 crew = $1,200.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include benefits?

Yes — a loaded rate (wage plus benefits, insurance, and taxes) gives a truer cost than the raw hourly wage.

Why multiply by crew size?

Each worker is paid hourly, so the total is hours × rate × number of workers.

Does this cover overtime?

No — this assumes straight time. Add a higher rate for OT hours if applicable.
