How We Calculate It

The US figure is your base salary plus the percentage you enter for benefits, payroll taxes and overhead. A $65,000 salary with 20% overhead comes to $78,000 a year.

The PakForge figure is the starting fixed monthly price for the tier you pick, times twelve, times the number of reps. It includes training, management, payroll and free replacement.

The calculator leaves out recruiting fees, months of ramp time and the cost of a hire who doesn't work out. Those usually make the gap bigger, not smaller.
