Contract Costing Spreadsheet
© John W. Budd, 2011

Instructions
Calculate the cost of various contract proposals by specifying new values for the proposals in
the Costs section below. For example, to calculate the cost of a 3% wage increase, change
the Wage Change (percent) value from 0 to 3. The assumptions can be changed to analyze
how costs differ with varying assumptions. All cells in blue can be changed.
Note that wage changes can be estimated in two ways: i) entering values for the percent and/or
cents changes in the Costs section (these are across the board changes) or ii) by directly
entering new wage rates for each job class in the Wage Schedule section. Directly entering
new wage rates deletes the percent/cent wage change formulas. To restore these formulas,
re-load the spreadsheet.
