Understanding Hiring Cost Basics:
Hiring internally often involves more than just salary - add superannuation, payroll tax, leave, recruitment, and other overheads, typically adding 30-50% to the base. This calculator uses Australia-wide averages (e.g., 12% super, ~5% payroll tax) to provide a realistic estimate. Outsourcing to Scale Suite avoids these burdens, offering flexible, expert support without the fixed costs.
