Pricing and Assignment Economics

These engines answer the questions that come up every time you quote or re-quote a contract: what a worker actually costs you loaded, what you need to bill to hit your margin, whether an assignment is actually profitable once fees and funding are counted, and what happens to your numbers when pay changes or a client asks for a discount.

Start with Fully Burdened Worker Costif you don't already know your loaded cost, then Staffing Bill Rateto price from it. Everything else in this category branches off those two.

• Staffing Bill Rate Engine

  Turn a loaded worker cost into the bill rate you need to charge.

• Markup vs Margin Converter

  Convert between markup and margin without mixing pay-rate and loaded-cost bases.

• Fully Burdened Worker Cost

  Simple burden-percentage mode and an advanced, wage-base-aware component mode.

• Minimum Viable Bill Rate

  Distinguishes economic break-even from the minimum rate at your floor margin.

• Assignment Profitability

  Full economic contribution on a specific assignment, billable vs paid hours included.

• VMS/MSP Fee Impact

  Isolates the VMS/MSP fee's dollar and margin impact; reuses the Bill Rate engine for reverse-solving.

• Funding Fee Margin Impact

  Flat or stepped funding-fee schedules against pre-funding contribution.

• Pay Raise Pass-Through

  Preserve-margin or preserve-contribution-dollars modes for passing a pay change through.

• Client Rate-Cut Impact

  Solves the volume multiplier needed to preserve contribution dollars after a rate cut.

• Volume Discount Break-Even

  Compares an actual requested volume against the volume required to preserve contribution.

• Overtime Assignment Economics

  Separate regular and overtime contribution, federal FLSA baseline, override the multiplier.

• Blended Workforce Margin

  Dollar-weighted blended margin across worker groups, never an average of margins.
