Outsourcing ROI — FAQs
Everything you need to know to interpret your calculator results and take the next step.
How does the Outsourcing ROI Calculator work?
The calculator compares your fully-loaded in-house labor cost (hourly rate × hours per week) against the equivalent offshore staffing cost. It then computes weekly savings, annualizes both figures, and calculates your ROI as the ratio of annual savings to annual outsourcing spend. All results update live as you type — no submission required.
What does "fully-loaded cost per hour" mean?
Your fully-loaded hourly rate includes more than just salary. To calculate it: take the annual salary, divide by 2,080 working hours, then multiply by approximately 1.25–1.35 to account for payroll taxes, benefits (health insurance, 401k), PTO, recruiting costs, and management overhead. For a $65,000/year employee this works out to roughly $39–$42/hour fully loaded — not the $31 the base salary implies.
What offshore hourly rate should I enter for outsourcing?
Kore BPO offshore staffing rates typically range from $8 to $20 per hour depending on the role, skill level, and region. Administrative and data entry roles generally fall in the $8–$12/hr range. Specialized finance, software, and technical roles range from $14–$20/hr. Contact us for an exact quote at no cost — we provide rates and resumes within 2–5 business days.
How accurate are the calculator results?
Results are as accurate as the inputs you provide. The calculator uses straightforward cost arithmetic — no hidden weighting or adjustments. For the most accurate projection, use your fully-loaded in-house rate (not base salary) and a real offshore quote from Kore BPO rather than a rough estimate. Our clients consistently achieve 60–70% cost reduction versus US-based in-house staff.
What is a good ROI percentage for outsourcing?
Most Kore BPO clients see an ROI of 100–250%, meaning they get $2–$3.50 back in savings for every $1 they spend on offshore staffing. An ROI above 100% means you are saving more than you are spending, which is the typical outcome for roles like data entry, bookkeeping, customer support, and marketing assistance. Any positive ROI is a strong signal that outsourcing makes financial sense for that function.
Does this calculator account for quality or productivity differences?
This calculator focuses purely on the cost comparison. Productivity and quality outcomes depend on onboarding, management, and role fit — factors that vary by provider. Kore BPO mitigates this with a dedicated account manager, structured onboarding, and a performance guarantee. Clients report offshore team productivity that matches or exceeds in-house staff within 30–60 days of ramp-up.
