Methodology & Assumptions
Fully Loaded Cost = Base Salary × (1 + Benefits %). Revenue = Hours × Utilization × Bill Rate × Realization. Year-1 splits into Ramp Phase (ramp utilization) and Steady Phase (target utilization).
Cash flow model assumes linear ramp from ramp utilization to target utilization over the configured ramp period. Recruiting and training costs are incurred upfront (Month 0).
Steady-state ROI = (Annual Revenue − Annual Fully Loaded Cost) ÷ Annual Fully Loaded Cost. Breakeven = month where cumulative cash turns positive. Annual hours: 2,080.
