Outsourcing Calculator

Use our popular Outsourcing Calculator to run 'what if' scenarios. Change variables and see how different scenarios impact your business.

When offshoring manufacturing to low-cost regions, OEM companies need to determine the savings lower labor rates contribute to the bottom line. Meanwhile, the biggest cost for most companies engaging electronics contract manufacturing partners is the materials cost of goods sold (MCOGs) for products being manufactured.

Whether outsourcing or offshoring your product manufacturing, the Outsourcing Calculator can help you uncover costs, and potential savings, as you evaluate low-cost manufacturing destinations.

$

*

ANNUAL cost of materials required for product / program.

Direct Labor Hourly Rate

*

Determine OEM internal cost rate per hour from items such as direct and indirect labor, utilities, supplies, square foot or meter overhead costs, additional space required, rents which the OEM will not be paying for because it will be outsourcing.

(Working backward: use above costs to determine hourly savings based on ANNUAL hours to build and ANNUAL number of units forecasted / to be manufactured)
