Test a charge rate before quoting
Try hourly, daily and permanent-fee examples in a private calculator.
Start with a realistic base
For hourly work, enter hourly worker pay. For contractor work, enter daily pay and interpret the result per day. For permanent placement, choose a percentage of annual base salary or a fixed placement fee.
Understand the calculation
The hourly and daily calculator uses the existing TalentChoice method: any entered casual loading is added to base pay first, then super; workers compensation uses base pay in the QLD branch and base plus super elsewhere; payroll tax is applied to that subtotal, then administration recovery, then agency markup. This preserves the platform calculation, not a determination that each cost applies to your business.
Keep assumptions current
Use the percentages appropriate to your business and engagement. No tax or statutory rate is prefilled in the free calculator. The estimate excludes GST and any extras you have not entered, such as overtime or allowances. Confirm your final commercial quote separately.
Print or save a copy
Calculate, then select Print / save PDF. Your browser lets you print or save a PDF of the inputs and result. You can save named scenarios for different clients in your calculator. They stay separate from public rate cards. Featured accounts can remove TalentChoice branding from client printouts.
