One position, or one standing meeting. Both are on the list on the
left, both take a minute, and neither needs a cost centre or a team built.
Or the whole team
Build your team once and every position is costed to the day
— vacancies, step increases, part-time, people arriving and leaving — against the
budget you were given.
Where the numbers come from
Salaries read from the published pay tables. Your own estimates are
kept separate from them, and both are shown, so a figure can be checked rather than
taken on trust.
Everything stays in this browser. No account, nothing uploaded, and nobody else — including me — can see what you enter.
Benefits and bonuses are not costed since they are charged centrally and never reach your budget.
Move it to another device
Show the code, point the other device's camera at the screen, and
open what pops up. Nothing is sent anywhere — the camera reads it off this screen.
This is a copy, not a backup: it is a
snapshot of this moment, and changing one device does not change the other.
Create a backup
Do this once your team is set up, and
again whenever it changes.
Nothing is uploaded, so the file is the only copy of this that
exists anywhere.
Show what goes in it
This box
is not the backup — it shows what is in this browser right now, and it
empties when the browser does.
Restore from a backup
This replaces what is in this browser.
Paste only a backup you made yourself.
See it with an example
A filled-in cost centre to look around. Your own work is kept.
Roll forward to next year
Erase everything
Clears this browser completely. Make a backup first if you want one.
Rates are read from the published pay tables.
Each group follows its own agreement, so check a figure before relying on it.
Positions on your team
Add several at once
Lay down a block of positions at one classification, then open each and
change what is different — the step, who is in it, when it falls vacant.

Add from a spreadsheet
Excel (.xlsx) or CSV.
It is read here, in this browser — the file is not uploaded. Positions,
steps, titles, position numbers and start dates are picked up from the headings; a
column of people's names is recognised and left out.
Or copy the columns you want out of a spreadsheet and paste them below.
From a printout, take a photo, select the text on the picture, and paste that.
Pick a classification, or someone from
your team if you have one built. Either way the cost comes from the
published rate for that level and step — never from anyone's actual pay.
A stage is just a group of rows
— Draft, Review, Rework. Name it or leave it blank; what it buys you is
a subtotal, and the subtotal is usually where the surprise is.
Who else touches it?
Almost nobody counts the review chain, and it is usually a third of the cost.
What this task costs

Add who works on it and how long it takes.
If the estimate is wrong
Nothing here is saved unless you save it.
Send this costing
All three carry classifications and hours — never your
team's names.
Or send a link they can change
Opens in the app with these rows already in it. The part
after the # never reaches a server — which is also why some mail
systems and home-screen shortcuts drop it. If it arrives as an empty
app, send the file instead.
