Every tool on this site computes on the page, free, with no account and no trial clock. The free version is the whole calculation; the paid plan is about keeping it: loaded rates saved against each employee, jobs priced from them, your name on the sheet and a clean export.
Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. BurdenRateLedger publishes no wage, no tax rate, no benefit cost and no industry labor percentage: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own payroll's figures.
- 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. Free tools
- 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. Free tools
- 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. Free tools
