With my recent focus on estimating I have become more interested in labor burden. I calculate my labor burden to be

FUTA .8
SUTA 1.5
SOCIAL SECURITY 6.2
MEDICARE 1.45
LIABILITY 3.9
WORKMANS COMP 5.47

TOTAL 19.32%

So if my average wage is 14.67 per hour (I'm paying myself a foreman's wage in this average) it costs me 17.50 per hour per guy standing at the gas station in the morning eating his breakfast.

Next we need to add overhead to this number...
