Salaries are the biggest cost in most companies, and the manpower budget is often a single line: 'last year + 10%'. Then hiring happens, increments land, and the budget is gone by October. This planner builds the number from the bottom up.

What it does

  • Plan: department, role, grade, current headcount, new hires, average CTC, increment % and the month new hires join
  • Worked out per role: headcount at year end, cost of current staff (with increments from the right month), cost of new hires for the months they're on payroll plus recruitment cost, increment cost and monthly run-rate at year end
  • Settings: budget year, increment month, default hiring month, employer cost above CTC, attrition and recruitment cost
  • Summary: headcount now and at year end, yearly cost, cost of increments and new hires, replacement hiring, run-rate, and cost by department with a chart

FAQ

Questions about this product

Why phase new hires by month?

Someone joining in October costs half a year, not a full year. Phasing makes the budget realistic.

What is the run-rate at year end?

The monthly salary cost once everyone planned is on the payroll at new salaries. It shows next year's starting point.

Does it include PF and gratuity?

If your CTC includes them, yes. If not, add them as employer cost above CTC on Settings.

Can I plan by person instead of role?

Yes. Use one line per person with headcount 1.

Does it handle attrition?

It estimates replacement hiring cost from expected attrition. Salary cost assumes leavers are replaced.

How do I get the files after payment?

A download button appears on screen right after payment, and the link is emailed to you. You can also download again any time from My account.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. It works with Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, WPS Office. Free mobile apps are enough.
