What the file tells you

A 14-an-hour contractor who needs five hours of your week is not cheaper than a 28-an-hour freelancer who needs two. This sheet prices employee, contractor, agency and doing it yourself the same way — on-costs, tools, your management time, ramp-up, real productivity — and gives you one number: cost per productive hour.

01 · verdictSteady state — a normal year against your budget and the cheapest option

02 · verdictFirst year — onboarding and ramp-up weeks at half output

03 · verdictYour time — hours a week of you to manage it, priced at your rate
