SBA Cost Savings Calculator

Running a business means dealing with all the hidden costs of staffing — not just wages. Super, payroll tax, workers’ comp, recruitment, HR compliance, IT, office space — they all add up.

At SBA Alliance, we believe business owners deserve full visibility. That’s why we built this Cost Savings Calculator: to help you compare the true cost of keeping work in-house vs partnering with an external SBA team.

Use it now to see what deploying SBA could save your operation — down to the dollar.

How It Works

1. Select Your SBA Plan
Choose the number of hours per month you’d outsource (e.g. 50, 100, 150…) and the corresponding rate.

2. Enter Your In-House Costs
Provide your current cost structure:

• Hourly wage
• Superannuation
• Payroll tax
• Workers’ compensation

Any other labour burden

3. Estimate Hours to Outsource / Save
Indicate how many hours of work you expect to shift from in‑house to SBA.

4. Add Any Extra Costs (Optional)
You may have overheads or transitional costs to include (e.g. IT setup, facility allocation, training). Enter them so the result is realistic.

5. Get Your Results
You’ll see:

• Your total in-house cost
• What you’d pay SBA
• Net savings in dollar value
• Percentage savings
• A downloadable (or emailable) summary you can use in internal planning or decision making

Tips & Best Practices

• Use the actual numbers you pay (or forecast) for super, payroll tax, etc., not industry averages, for a more accurate outcome.
• Be conservative when estimating “hours saved” — it’s better to underpromise and overdeliver.
• Include your transitional or setup costs so you don’t get a misleading “too good to be true” result.
• Use the “Email Results” feature to get a neat PDF to share with stakeholders.
