lA simple algorithm to estimate value of design team
time
»Costteam = Moverhead * Costdirect
»Moverhead is a
multiplier that covers fringe benefits, supervision, profit and facilities costs to the
organization
»Costdirect is the
money/pay that you, the designer, would see in a paycheck
»Typical values: Moverhead = 2 – 4
Costdirect = £15 – 50 /hr
lEven at a minimal wage (£5/hr) for a design team
of
five for ten hours a week
for ten weeks,
the cost is
£5000-10,000
