What your crew
really costs per hour.
A one-tab spreadsheet that turns a base wage into a burdened cost — payroll taxes, workers comp, general liability, benefits, PTO and small tools. Then it shows what that burden does to the margin on a single job.
Why it matters. Most contractors land between 25% and 40% burden. Bid at the base hourly rate and that burden comes straight out of your margin — on an $84,500 job it can be the difference between 29% and 20%.

Works in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. This checks one crew rate and one job. The full workbook tracks budget against actual by cost code across every job, adds committed cost from open POs and subs, and builds the WIP schedule.
