Resource Rate Calculator

The Resource Rate Calculator is an industry calculator designed to simply and easily calculate resource rates such as head hour rates, annual salaries, overhead & profit markup and annual billable hours.

In fact the Resource Rate Calculator is four calculators in one:

1. Overhead cost and profit multiples - what factor must you multiply the direct salary cost by to cover the business overhead and profit

2. Annual Billable hours - how many billable hours are there in a year after annual leave, public holidays and sick-leave

3. Annual salary - based on the hourly rate what is the person's annual salary

4. Hourly rate – convert annual salary to hourly rate

Calculating head hour rates can be complex and confusing for marketers, procurement and even agencies themselves. There are so many variables such as:

1. Overhead cost and Profit Mark Ups
a. Mark Up or Margin
b. Direct versus In-Direct Salaries
c. Profit on Overhead and Salary Costs

2. Billable Hours Per Year
a. Annual Leave
b. Sick Leave
c. Public Holidays
d. Hours per week
e. Non-billable time

The TrinityP3 Resource Rate Calculator iPhone app has all of the market variables to allow the application to be used in all the major global markets including:

1. Multiple Currencies eg. Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Yuan, Yen, Rand, Peso, Won and more.

2. Billable Hours Per Year based on common local variables
