What does this calculator include?

Wage plus payroll taxes, workers comp, benefits, PTO, equipment, onboarding, and overhead. Free, full, and itemized views show the same estimate at different depths.

Why not wage times 1.3?

A flat 1.3x shortcut ignores state, role, and class code. Real loaded costs often land between about 1.2x and 1.45x. This model shows the gap using your figures.
