WHY THIS EXISTS

Most businesses know their payroll cost. Far fewer know their contingent workforce cost.

External workforce spend is often fragmented across agencies, contractors, payroll, systems and internal administration. Upplft brings that infrastructure together. This calculator shows where the commercial opportunity may sit before a detailed assessment.

HOW WE CALCULATE IT

A business-case model, not a vanity number.

Savings are applied sequentially, so the same workforce spend is not counted twice. The Upplft consumption fee is then deducted to show net benefit and ROI.

01Move addressable agency spend direct

Estimate the agency fee embedded in the portion of spend that can move to direct sourcing.

02Optimise the suppliers that remain

Apply target supplier economics only to the remaining agency spend.

03Address rate leakage

Apply rate improvement to the residual workforce cost base after channel savings.

04Calculate net value after Upplft

Deduct the consumption fee from gross savings and calculate the resulting ROI.

THE UPPLFT DIFFERENCE

01Plan

03Onboard
