Hiring ROI Calculator

Compare the total cost of in-house hiring against a dedicated delivery team.

The Hiring ROI Calculator compares the estimated total cost of hiring developers in-house against a Webvoid dedicated delivery team retainer, so you can see the potential savings of an outsourced model for a given salary range and team size. It's built for founders, CTOs, and operations leads deciding whether to grow the internal team or partner with a delivery team.

Adjust the average annual developer salary and team size. The calculator adds a 25% overhead estimate to the in-house cost and compares it against a fixed monthly retainer per team member.

How this is calculated

In-house total cost = (average annual salary × number of developers) × 1.25 to include an overhead estimate for benefits, equipment, and admin. Webvoid retainer cost = ₹25,00,000 per developer per year. Net savings = in-house cost minus retainer cost. ROI = (net savings ÷ retainer cost) × 100. The 25% overhead and retainer figures are planning assumptions — validate them against your actual local costs during scoping.
