    Salaries

    Gross is not the cost

    A 5,000 CHF gross salary costs the company about 6,000 CHF: pension, social insurance — the . In a plan, always count the employer cost, never the gross alone.

    FTE: counting in full-time

    Two half-time jobs = 1 (full-time equivalent). It's the unit that makes teams comparable: "2.5 " states the real workforce, no matter how many people make it up.

    Fixed, or paid per sale?

    A fixed salary falls due every month, like rent. A commission follows sales: it's a production cost, not payroll. The app keeps them apart — your margins will thank you.

    And your own salary?

    The classic trap: forgetting yourself. A plan where the founder isn't paid looks profitable — and lies. Set at least a target salary, however modest: it's what says whether the project can support you.

    The revenue cap per person

    One person can only serve so much revenue a year. Set that cap on a position: when your forecast exceeds it, the app shows you the hire your growth demands.

    Labour in the unit cost

    45 minutes of installation per unit sold: that time attaches to the product, as a "labour" component. It then enters the unit cost — and the app computes the FTEs your volumes consume.
