Step 2

Depending on the nature of the employee's work, select the employee's function from the drop-down menu 👇

  • Sales & Marketing
  • Research & Development
  • General & Administrative
  • Direct labor (Part of Cost of Goods Sold)

👀 If you choose "Direct labor" the employee costs will be categorized as cost of sales.

🔎If you choose any of the other three options, the employee costs will be categorized as operating expenses.

 

Step 3

Choose how you want to calculate the employee's salary, by selecting the options below:

  1. Dollar value per employee
  2. Percent of total revenue
  3. Percent of specific revenue stream

🔎If you choose $ value per employee, you will be prompted to enter the number of employees and the salary per employee on the following screen.


🔎 If you choose Percent of total/ specific revenue, you will be prompted to enter employee costs as a percent of revenue on the next screen.

 

Step 4


Next, you need to select the employment status. If the employee is employed by you, Modeliks will apply an additional cost for other employee benefits.

🌟 The burden rate is the percent of the employee's salary that will be applied as an additional cost.

You can adjust the burden rate by clicking the "Burden Rate" button on the main employee's screen. By default, the burden rate is set at zero (0).

🔎 If you select Contract workers there will be no additional cost applied.

 

Click "Next" and enter the number of employees on the input screen. Then, enter the gross salary per employee. 

In our case, we will add 2 employees with a $2,500 salary per employee ✅
