Salary is not total employer cost
Planning can separate direct salary from additional employer-side costs.
GuidesUse an hourly equivalent carefully
Annual cost divided by planned hours is a capacity metric, not necessarily a payroll rate.
GuidesModel team-size scenarios
A small change in headcount can have a large annual budget effect.
GuidesKeep overtime assumptions separate
Overtime can be modeled from hours, hourly rate and a multiplier.
GuidesKeep staffing budget headroom visible
A plan at exactly the expected cost leaves little room for timing or benefit changes.
