Employee cost rate calculator
Employee cost rate calculator
In a nutshell: If your business uses QuickBooks Online Plus and QuickBooks Online Advanced, you can now calculate cost rates through a built-in calculator that syncs with QuickBooks Online Payroll.
Project-based businesses can now more closely track project profitability in real-time using employee cost rates—without depending on third-party or tedious manual solutions. This new cost rate calculator will provide entry fields for common factors including pay rate, benefits, taxes, insurance, and overhead expenses. For those using QuickBooks Online Payroll, employees’ pay types and pay rates will automatically appear in the calculator. In most cases, taxes will default to the standard FICA rate (7.65%) for US customers.
Once calculated, cost rates will automatically apply to time events added to Projects. After that, you can address organization-wide changes in benefits and overhead by updating cost rates for multiple employees at once.
Note: The employee cost rate calculator does not yet calculate overtime cost rates.
