Fully-Burdened Labor Rate
Base wage plus payroll taxes, workers comp, liability, and benefits, divided by the productive (billable) fraction of paid hours. $25/hr at 9.15% payroll, 8% WC, 2% liability, $4 benefits, 85% billable -> $39.75/hr. A bid-rate aid; the payroll service and insurer rates govern.
Formula and source
burden = wage x (payroll% + WC% + liability%)/100 + benefits; burdened = (wage + burden) / (productivity/100); burden_pct = (burdened - wage)/wage x 100.
The standard contractor fully-burdened labor-rate build-up, by name.
