TeamCalc

The tool lets engineering managers and finance teams calculate the fully loaded cost of each role by adding employer national insurance, pension contributions, recruitment fees, equipment, office space, benefits, and management overhead to base salaries. It draws on up‑to‑date UK salary benchmarks for different seniorities, locations, and company stages, and presents the breakdown instantly when a role is entered.

Users can build multiple staffing scenarios—such as hiring a senior engineer in London versus two mid‑level engineers remotely, or comparing contractors to permanent staff—and view side‑by‑side cost comparisons. The platform also offers AI‑driven suggestions for alternative locations, seniority mixes, and other trade‑offs that could reduce overall expenditure.

The service can generate PDF reports formatted for board presentations, including cost tables, comparison charts, and an executive summary, enabling rapid preparation of headcount plans or business cases. It is positioned for teams that need precise budgeting and scenario analysis for engineering talent.
