FlatRateMath 0.1.0
You have three quotes on the table: an $84,000 fixed bid, an $18,290-a-month hire, and a $5,995 flat subscription. Which one is cheapest depends entirely on how many requests you actually submit, and none of the quotes tell you that. FlatRateMath divides each lane's full loaded cost by your expected delivered request count, so the three offers land on one comparable number. The math in the hire lane includes what a salary number usually leaves out. Benefits around 35%, payroll taxes around 15%, bonus around 15%, retirement around 8%, plus roughly $13,500 in upfront spend on recruiting and equipment. An $18,290 monthly salary prices out near $31,400 a month fully loaded. A 12-month, 30-request engagement therefore costs about $877 per request on the hire lane, $2,800 per request on the fixed bid, and $200 per request on the subscription. Usage: python3 flatratemath.py 84000 12 30 for a single bid, --salary 18290 12 30 --flat 5995 12 30 to rank a hire against a subscription, or --compare lanes.csv to score a whole decision table by cost per request. One Python file, standard library only, MIT licensed, runs on any Python 3 without pip.
