Understanding Your Burden Rate

Many staffing agencies underestimate their true costs by failing to account for every component of the "burden rate." In California especially, these costs can add up quickly.

  • FICA (Social Security): 6.2% of gross wages up to the wage base limit.
  • Medicare: 1.45% of all gross wages.
  • FUTA (Federal Unemployment): Typically 0.6% (net) on the first $7,000.
  • SUTA (State Unemployment): Varies by agency rating, often 1.5% - 6.2%.
  • Workers' Comp: Highly variable based on class code (e.g., 8018 for warehouse vs. 8810 for clerical).

Sync Simple's built-in billing and payroll modules handle these calculations automatically for every invoice, ensuring you never lose money on a deal.
