What does the offshore savings calculator compare?

It compares the monthly and five-year cost of an in-house team with a dedicated offshore team of the same size, using the team size and the two hourly rates you set. It assumes 160 working hours per person per month.

What should I enter as my in-house hourly rate?

Use the fully loaded cost, not just salary: wages, payroll taxes, benefits, equipment, software, office space, recruiting and the management time the team needs, divided by the hours worked. A salary-only figure understates what the team really costs.

Are the savings guaranteed?

No. The calculator gives an estimate from the numbers you enter. Real savings depend on the roles, the seniority, the volume of work and the scope agreed with a provider, so treat the result as a starting point for a conversation.

Does the result include setup or management costs on my side?

No. Add any one-off setup costs and the time your own managers will spend directing the team when you compare options. Our guide to offshore staffing costs lists the items to include.

Can I use it for virtual assistants or BPO services?

Yes. For a virtual assistant, set the team size to the number of assistants. For a managed BPO service, use the cost of the in-house team that does the work today as the in-house figure.

How it works

Three inputs, one clear comparison

The calculator multiplies team size by hourly rate and by 160 working hours a month. The maths is simple on purpose, so you can check it.

1
Set the team size
How many full-time people would do this work if you hired them yourself?
2
Enter two hourly rates
Your fully loaded in-house rate, and the rate you expect to pay an offshore team.
3
Read the comparison
See the monthly cost of each, the annual saving and a five-year projection.

What to include in your in-house rate

The most common mistake is entering salary alone. A fully loaded rate is usually well above it.

Wages and payroll taxes
Health and other benefits
Equipment and software licences
Office space and utilities
Recruiting and onboarding
Management and training time
