Methodology

How This ROI Model Works

Transparent methodology grounded in real costs.

Cost Modeling

Zedtreeo rates based on actual pricing tiers (starting $6/hr). Market rates sourced from Glassdoor, Payscale, and Robert Half 2026 data including employer overhead (benefits, taxes, office).

ROI Calculation

3-year ROI = (Total Savings ÷ Initial Investment) × 100. Investment includes onboarding costs + first month. Savings compound monthly from day one.

Productivity Gains

Zedtreeo's structured 4-step process and pre-vetted candidates reduce typical 6-week ramp-up to 2-3 weeks. The extra productive weeks are quantified as additional ROI.

FAQs

ROI Calculator FAQs

Understanding your remote staffing returns.

The calculator factors in: Zedtreeo's monthly rates (hourly × 176 hrs), one-time onboarding costs you specify, and compares against fully-loaded local market costs (salary + benefits + taxes + overhead). It does NOT include potential revenue gains from faster hiring — making the actual ROI even higher.

Payback = Total Initial Investment ÷ Monthly Savings. Your initial investment is onboarding costs + first month's Zedtreeo cost. Since savings start from month one, most teams break even within 4-6 weeks.

Yes — they're conservative. The calculator only measures direct cost savings. It doesn't account for: faster time-to-hire (48hr shortlists vs 6-week recruiting cycles), zero recruitment fees, no benefits/insurance overhead, and the free 5-day trial that eliminates bad-hire risk.

Nothing hidden. The rate you see includes everything: employee salary, AI tool training, dedicated account management, NDA/IP protection, timezone matching, performance reports, and replacement guarantee. No separate fees.

Larger teams amplify savings linearly — if 1 developer saves $5,000/month, 5 developers save $25,000/month. The ROI percentage stays similar, but absolute dollar savings scale significantly. Teams of 3+ typically see the best cost-per-person efficiency.

Methodology

How the Remote Staffing ROI Calculator works

How the number is produced

Monthly savings = local in-house cost (Zedtreeo rate × market multiplier × hours) − Zedtreeo cost, for the team size you set.
One-off costs you enter (equipment, setup) are amortised; break-even weeks = one-off cost ÷ weekly savings.
Productivity value = weeks of ramp saved × hourly rate × 40 hours × team size, using the ramp you pick (2–3 weeks) against a 6-week industry norm; ROI = (savings + productivity value − costs) ÷ costs, projected over 3 years.

Assumptions built in

The 6-week industry ramp is a stated assumption; adjust the ramp selector to your reality.
No placement fees are charged, so recruitment cost on the Zedtreeo side is $0.
