FAQ
Typically, the direct labor and overhead costs are combined into the burdened labor rate. The average burdened labor rate for North America is about $40. If a widget has $500 of materials and takes 1 hour of labor, the cost is $540 ($500 plus 1 hour at $40 per hour). A profit margin will then be added to the $540.
