BurdenCalc: fully loaded labor rates without the spreadsheet maze

Base wage is not labor cost. Taxes, workers’ compensation, benefits, and PTO accrual routinely push fully loaded rates 50–70% above wage.

BurdenCalc is a free, local-first labor burden calculator for construction estimators:

  • Percent-of-wage and flat $/hr burden lines
  • Multi-scenario (by craft)
  • Optional markup → sell / bill rate
  • Printable worksheet · JSON backup · nothing uploaded

Not tax or insurance advice — confirm WC and tax rates with your carrier and accountant.
