A fully-burdened labor rate is your full cost of an hour's worth of work. It includes all payroll taxes and any other costs related to labor. It would include all labor-related costs just like the fully-burdened labor rate, but it normally also includes a chunk for other overhead expenses and often profit.
Raw labor refers to the initial earnings capacity of each individual before the acquisition of any human capital. Human capital is the result of education and labor experience.
If your business existed prior to 2019, you should use your total payroll expenses from 2019, and divide the annual total by 12 to arrive at a monthly average.

The new regulations have updated the steps as follows:
- Step 1: Take your 2019 IRS 1040 Schedule C line 31 net profit (if you have not filed a 2019 return, fill out the schedule C and compute the vavlue).
- Step 2: Divide that number by 12 to get the average monthly net profit.
- Step 3: Multiply that number by 2.5.
Payroll costs consist of all costs incurred by an employer to compensate its employees. These costs include employee compensation and the employer-paid portion of all payroll taxes. Other elements of payroll costs include commissions, bonuses, and paid leave.
How to calculate your PPP loan amount as a self-employed borrower

- Multiply your average monthly net profit by 2.5.
Under the PPP, payroll costs generally include: Employee gross pay including salary, wages, commissions, bonuses, and tips, capped at the annualized value of $100,000 for the length of the applicable Covered Period or Alternative Payroll Covered Period. Employer-paid healthcare benefits, including insurance premiums.
PPP loans covers payroll costs, including costs for employee vacation, parental, family, medical, and sick leave. However, the CARES Act excludes qualified sick and family leave wages for which a credit is allowed under sections 7001 and 7003 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (Public Law 116–127).
For a Sole Proprietorship without employees, leave out the employees, and just calculate your yearly net profit, divide by 12, and multiply by 2.5 for PPP payroll eligibility. The process is similar for all legal entity types.
Multiply the employee's hourly wage by the number of hours she is available for work per year to determine her annual payroll labor cost. Add the annual payroll labor cost to the labor burden cost. In this example, multiply $20 per hour by 2,080 hours to get a $41,600 annual payroll labor cost.
The labor cost per unit is obtained by multiplying the direct labor hourly rate by the time required to complete one unit of a product. For example, if the hourly rate is $16.75, and it takes 0.1 hours to manufacture one unit of a product, the direct labor cost per unit equals $1.68 ($16.75 x 0.1).
Payroll load rates are the rates used to charge fringe benefit costs to budgets. They vary depending upon payroll classifications (for example, classified, professional, hourly, graduate students). Fringe benefits include: Worker's Compensation.
Your labor burden is the full cost you incur for employees. Overhead expenses are the fixed or indirect costs of running your business, such as administrative and marketing costs. Unlike labor burden, overhead expenses are not directly tied to the level of your production.
Indirect costs include costs which are frequently referred to as overhead expenses (for example, rent and utilities) and general and administrative expenses (for example, officers' salaries, accounting department costs and personnel department costs).
Billable rate is the amount you charge customers for products and services. Essentially, it's the price. The billable rate determines how much you will make from sales. This is separate from the bills you pay to run your business.
Calculate Your Hourly RateBusiness schools teach a standard formula for determining an hourly rate: Add up your labor and overhead costs, add the profit you want to earn, then divide the total by your hours worked. This is the minimum you must charge to pay your expenses, pay yourself a salary, and earn a profit.
