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.
