Quantity in. Hours and dollars out.

quantity × labor unit × productivity factor = total hours. Crew duration and labor dollars derived. Bring your own labor unit and rate; we don't lock you to a national average.

1000 × 0.05 hr × 1 = 50.0 hr
50.0 hr ÷ 3 crew = 16.7 hr/crew
50.0 hr × $85/hr = $4,250
