How to use this calculator
- Start with Direct Labor = 1.0000 to calculate your wrap rate multiplier.
- Adjust the rate percentages to match your actual indirect rates.
- FBLC (Fully Burdened Labor Cost) is your break-even floor — the minimum you must recover before any profit.
- Add your Fee on top of FBLC to get your Billing Rate to the Government (FBLF).
- Once you know your multiplier, replace 1.0000 with any hourly wage to see the fully-loaded billing rate for that employee.
