What is on this site
3 free tools, each working its figure on the page with no account, and BurdenRateLedger Pro that keeps the record. All tools · Pricing.
- Labor burden calculator: Load an hour of labor: the wage, employer payroll taxes at your share, benefits and other costs per hour worked, the loaded cost and the burden rate.
- Labor percentage calculator: Read labor as a share of revenue: loaded labor over revenue for the period, the labor your target allows, and how far over or under you ran.
- Construction labor calculator: Price a crew on a job: people times hours at the loaded rate is the labor cost, and your markup on it is the labor price on the bid.
What BurdenRateLedger Pro keeps
The tools are free forever. Pro turns them into the ledger: every employee's loaded rate kept and dated, every job's crew hours and labor price filed against it, your name and logo on the sheet, no watermark, and an export when the accountant or the bonding agent asks.
