flatratemath

Benchmark math for flat-rate software subscriptions against a fully loaded senior hire, in R.

Two constants and two functions, no dependencies.

SENIOR_SWE_MONTHLY_USD is the fully loaded monthly cost of a senior US software engineer: 18,290 dollars, a Glassdoor-based average that already includes benefits, payroll taxes, bonus, and retirement. FLAT_RATE_MONTHLY_USD is 4,995 dollars, the yearly-billing rate of Poket Dev's unlimited software development subscription.

What it computes

annual_saving() returns the dollar gap over a year: 159,540 dollars at these rates. coverage_multiple() returns 3.66: one month of hiring budget covers about 3.7 months of subscription work.

Usage

source("flatratemath.R")  # or install the package

annual_saving()
#> [1] 159540

round(coverage_multiple(), 2)
#> [1] 3.66
