The billable employee section will show the actual cost of your employees and will calculate a labor rate per minute to charge the client. The labor rate will cover the employee's costs and their portion of the other company expenses and their portion of profit. Each employee is broken down by wages, employer taxes, benefits, and other costs incurred by the employer, and are totaled to show the true cost of the employee to the business. The cost per billable minute is the employees per minute cost to the owner while at work, whether the employee is billing or not.

The labor rate per minute is calculated off of the employee cost per minute, the labor % and the production factor. The labor % (billable labor %) inherits its value off of the company global page and is based on your desired profit.

The production % should be modified for each employee to reflect the number off billable hours in a work period. In this case, Tom's is set to 75% which means on average he is billed out, or is charged out 30 hours out of 40. In a week, when Tom bills out the 30 hours, his labor rate charged to the client will cover all of his employee costs, and will cover his % of expenses and his % of profit. In a month, if Tom bills out 130 hours, (75% of 173 avg hrs/mth) he will cover his employee costs, and his % of other expenses and his % of profit. The production % you set for this employee is a goal he/she needs to hit accurately. The closer you are to attaining projected hours to actual billable hours, the closer you will be to achieving your desired profit.
