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.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Hiring ROI Calculator compare?

It compares the estimated total cost of hiring developers in-house (salary plus a 25% overhead for benefits, equipment, and admin) against the cost of a Webvoid dedicated delivery team retainer.

What is included in the 25% direct-hire overhead?

It is an approximation for benefits, payroll taxes, onboarding, equipment, software licenses, office, and management overhead. Adjust this figure to match your local cost structure.

What does the Webvoid retainer cost cover?

The retainer covers a dedicated delivery team member, including Webvoid project management, engineering execution, and delivery infrastructure. The exact scope is confirmed during scoping.

Is the salary range India-specific?

Yes. The default slider range is shown in Indian Rupees (₹15 LPA – ₹60 LPA) as a reference for mid-to-senior engineers in India. You can adjust it to match your actual local market during the calculation.

What to do with your result

The calculator gives you a directional comparison — the real decision depends on control, culture, timezone, and the type of work you want managed in-house versus delivered by a partner.
