Assumptions: local fully loaded cost = base salary x 1.4 (payroll tax, benefits, management overhead, consistent with a $130K base running ~$180K all-in). Opus rates are role-specific ranges, set by the market rate for each role; your exact quote comes on the 20-minute call. All-in Opus rates run $3,000–$7,750/mo depending on the role. 97% of placements are still in the seat after one year.
