How much does fractional RevOps cost?

Fractional RevOps is usually billed by the hour or the day. As a rule of thumb we model an average of around 75 euro per hour. A typical part-time engagement of about 10 hours a week works out near 39,000 euro a year - often 40 to 60 percent less than a fully-loaded full-time salary. Use the calculator to run your own numbers.

Is fractional cheaper than a full-time hire?

Usually, once you compare like for like. A full-time salary carries employer taxes and benefits (20 to 40 percent on top), recruitment fees (15 to 25 percent of first-year salary) and a 3 to 6 month ramp. A fractional operator carries none of those and is senior from day one, so the loaded comparison is wider than the hourly rate suggests.

What does a full-time RevOps hire really cost?

The fully-loaded cost of an employee is widely cited at 1.25 to 1.4 times base salary once employer taxes, benefits, recruitment, ramp time and tools are included - before accounting for the months to full productivity.

How many hours a week is a fractional engagement?

Typically one to two days, or roughly 8 to 16 hours a week, scaled to the work. Because a senior operator skips the ramp and the filler, fewer hours still move the number.

What a full-time salary hides

The number on the offer letter is the smallest part of the cost. Once you load in what an employer actually pays, a hire runs 1.25 to 1.4 times base salary before anyone has done a day of work.

Why fractional changes the maths

Senior from day one

No 3–6 month ramp and no recruitment fee. You get a senior operator doing the work in week one, not learning the job on your payroll.

You pay for output, not attendance

A full-timer is on salary for every meeting, holiday and slow week. Fractional bills the hours that move the number - and scales up or down as you need.

None of the on-costs

No employer taxes, benefits, equipment or severance. The rate is the cost - which is why the loaded comparison is wider than the hourly one looks.

No key-person risk

The real fear is a system one person builds and takes with them. A build-to-hand-over model leaves your team owning what was built.

Cost is one axis. Seniority, availability and continuity are the others - and no option gives you all of them.
