Method & data source

Net impact = uncovered output value + actual overtime coverage cost − wages and employer costs avoided. A negative result is shown as a modeled net offset, not hidden or treated as guaranteed savings.

Calendar days are converted using workdays per week ÷ 7, without rounding to a minimum day. Annual salary is divided by 52 weeks and your weekly hours. Costs and coverage are entered per vacancy; all amounts scale with the number of positions.

Employer costs use the selected job family's benefits-to-wages ratio from BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, June 2026, or your own percentage. State identifies the assignment; it does not substitute an unverified tax, wage, or benefit rate. Use actual pay and your own employer costs for local precision.

Output value is your planning assumption. Avoid counting the same completed work as both lost output and coverage. The tool does not model holidays, shift calendars, nonlinear output, overtime eligibility, or state payroll compliance. Annual salary does not determine overtime eligibility; enter actual coverage costs separately.

Planning estimate only. Results are not a wage quote or a guarantee of costs or savings.
