The calculator already estimates the minimum billing rate. Add an actual billing rate to check whether the project looks commercially workable.
How the German Temporary Staffing Rate Calculator works
The tool is designed for employer-side staffing decisions. It does not estimate a candidate’s net salary. It estimates the hourly billing rate needed to make a temporary staffing setup economically viable.
1. Working-time base
The monthly calculation starts from working hours, not from a fixed monthly salary.
- Hours per week = hours per day × working days
- Hours per month = weekly hours × 4.2
- Revenue and costs are then projected monthly
2. Staffing cost logic
Temporary staffing projects often include more than the worker’s hourly wage.
- Employer-cost assumptions
- Accommodation and allowances
- Home travel support
- External provider or sourcing fees
3. Viability assessment
The actual billing rate is compared with the calculated minimum rate.
- Below minimum: likely underpriced
- Close to minimum: margin may be tight
- Above minimum: stronger commercial buffer
