Model your team. See the true fully loaded cost of every role. Compare scenarios. Export board-ready reports. Powered by real UK salary benchmarks.
Salary is only 60–70% of what an engineer actually costs your business. Employer NI, pension, benefits, recruitment fees, equipment, office space, and management overhead add up fast. On a 15-person team, that gap is typically £300–500k.

I built TeamCalc because I needed it myself. As a CTO across multiple businesses I have always been shocked by how hard it is to get accurate cost data in one place. Salary surveys gave me ranges. Spreadsheets gave me headaches. Nothing gave me the full picture.
