How to Calculate Labor Cost

How to Calculate Labor Cost

This is almost 100% incorrect...what about payroll taxes, workers compensation insurance and risk management, payroll and administrative costs, the cost of benefits, the cost of turnover?

Thumbnail:  Add 15% on top of whatever the hourly rate is for taxes and administrative costs.  Add anywhere from .25% to 40% depending on workers comp/risk of the job.  Add another 5 - 15% for cost of benefits...if you go lower, then the cost of turnover goes up.
