Loaded labor cost calculator

This estimate uses only the assumptions you enter. It is not a market-price recommendation or a guarantee of profit.

Enter your own hourly figure.
No universal percentage is supplied.
Enter 0 if none.
Owner time has a cost; enter your own assumption.

What to include

Loaded hourly cost = base wage × (1 + entered burden percentage ÷ 100) + additional hourly burden. Enter costs that apply to your business and avoid counting the same item twice. This tool does not determine payroll or tax obligations. Owner-performed work also needs an explicit labor-cost assumption.
