I am not a big fan of spreadsheets and was hesitant to use this, however once I started it was really straightforward. I put in my costs and then I realized just how expensive my employees were. Ouch!. This Burden Calculator really saved me from making some even bigger mistakes this year and I am really happy I found it.

I run a restaurant and with this application I was able to use the scenarios screen to figure out the best staff to work on both the dinner and lunch shifts, and figure my actual cost for that shift. Now I know exactly how much we need to bring in for each Lunch and Dinner to meet our profit goals. Very happy to recommend this software to anyone with employees!

But when you factor in taxes, health insurance, vacation time, and company overhead… The real cost per hour jumps to $29.73/hour.

That’s almost 50% more than you thought—silently draining your profits with every shift.

Now Multiply That Across All Your Staff… Every Day… Every Week
