In-House Delivery Cost Estimator

Many operations underestimate the true cost of in-house delivery. This estimator accounts for the expenses that are often overlooked.

Labor Costs

Employer burden includes payroll taxes (FICA), federal and state unemployment insurance, workers' comp, and other employment-related costs. Many stores fall in the 15–25% range depending on state and coverage levels. 20% is a reasonable planning assumption. Benefit-heavy packages will increase total burden.
