Make the assumptions yours

Compare hiring structures without pretending one rate fits a country

Start with an annual pay target, then edit every percentage using the country research, provider quote, and internal budget your team trusts. The starter values are example inputs—not statutory rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the starter percentages country rates?+
No. They are editable example inputs that make the model usable on first load. Replace them with the payroll research, provider quote, and internal budget your team trusts.
Can I use a local currency?+
Yes. Change the three-letter currency code to format the scenario. The planner does not convert values or apply an FX rate.
What is the managed-service scenario?+
It applies the managed-service uplift you enter to comparable annual pay. Use an actual provider quote when you need a procurement budget.
Does the contractor scenario decide classification?+
No. It is a budget comparison only. The right engagement structure depends on the work, relationship, location, and legal review.
What should I do after comparing the totals?+
Replace the example inputs with validated payroll obligations, benefit budgets, contractor quotes, and provider pricing before approval.
