People are 40–70% of most cost bases. Model a hiring plan month by month, see what it does to payroll, the payroll-to-revenue ratio and EBITDA — and whether the revenue plan can actually afford it.

Revenue vs payroll

Monthly · 12 months

Fully-loaded cost per hire is salary plus benefits, bonus and visa/insurance. Future payroll is the steady-state annual run-rate once all planned hires are in; the chart shows the month-by-month build based on each hire's start month. EBITDA holds other operating costs constant. These are directional estimates, not financial advice.
