Direct Services Labour Unit Costs

This tool compares direct service labour costs across varying productivity levels. It helps identify cost-saving opportunities by quantifying how changes in productivity impact expenses, enabling data-driven decisions to optimize resource allocation.

Productivity measured as billable hours as % of worked hours.

Administration overhead recovery rate

This tool calculates the administration overhead recovery rate to determine how much of your administration overhead must be included in the unit price of services to fully cover indirect costs.

Exclusion: Profit margins are not factored into the model.

Key Variables: The rate adjusts based on either service volume growth (e.g. package growth) or efficiency gains (e.g. reduced overhead costs).

Service unit price for desired margin

This model works out the service price needed to achieve desired margin for the service.

Model 1 and 2 can be used to assist input for this model.

Services total price comparison - HCP vs SaH

This tool calculates the price difference clients would pay for equivalent services under home care package program (HCP) and support at home program (SaH).

This model helps:

• Inform pricing decisions for providers
• Communicate to clients for them to understand the increase in service price to recover package management fee

Calculations use a standardized 91-day quarter for comparability.
