Staff Cost
1 min read#10
See how staff costs relate to revenue and budget.
3 KPI cards:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Staff cost | Total labor cost in the period |
| Share of sales | Labor cost / Revenue (%) – warning if over budget |
| Sales | Period revenue |
Calculation includes:
- Base pay (hourly rate × hours, or monthly salary converted)
- Unsocial hours premium (evening +20%, night +40%, weekend +50%)
- Social fees (31.42% standard)
- Vacation pay (12% standard)
Staff cost vs Revenue (combined chart):
- Area chart: Revenue (gold)
- Line chart: Staff cost (blue)
- Shows correlation day by day
Staff cost percentage per day (bar chart):
- Each day shown as a bar
- Budget percentage shown as dashed red reference line
- Gold bars = under budget, red bars = over budget
Tip: Aim for 25–35% staff cost of revenue. Use the chart to identify days with too high staffing compared to sales.
