Compare The Full Budget Before You Hire
Australian salaries and offshore staffing fees cover different costs. This 13-page whitepaper compares approved role estimates with sourced Australian salary benchmarks, explains the remaining costs, and includes a printable budget worksheet.
A Three-Role Comparison Needs More Than Salary
The example combines a bookkeeper, routine administrator, and customer service representative. Selected Australian salaries plus 12% super total A$240,800 a year; our mid-level staffing fees total A$112,200 annualised. These are partial costs, not a promised saving: scope, coverage, other expenses, and management time still need to be assessed for each option.
Australian inputs use the 2026 national starting-salary benchmarks from Robert Half for bookkeeping, administration, and customer service, plus the 12% superannuation guarantee. Research checked 4 November 2026; Covela rates checked 3 November 2026.
