Employee vs Contractor

Comparing the cost of a contractor versus an employee is not always an equal comparison. While you could add up the number of hours that you expect each team member to work and then divide this by their annual cost, this fails to consider other factors that affect compensation and costs such as employee benefits, overhead costs, office support, and indirect costs.

For industries like manufacturing and production, where demand fluctuates seasonally, determining the most cost-effective staffing solution can be challenging. Our cost comparison calculator provides clarity by illustrating the hourly, weekly, monthly, and yearly costs, empowering you to assess the expenses of maintaining your engineering team's support during peak periods.
