Frequently asked questions
What is workforce economics?
Workforce economics is the planning discipline of connecting people decisions to resources, capacity and cost — using frameworks and your own figures. These pages teach the method; they contain no salary data, market compensation data or cost benchmarks.
Do these pages contain salary or cost benchmarks?
No. There is no salary data, no market compensation data, no cost benchmarks and no fabricated ROI, cost-savings or productivity figures. Every number comes from the figures you enter into the private calculators.
How do I quantify anything without benchmarks?
Use the free, browser-based calculators linked on each page with your own figures — they run privately, with nothing sent or stored, and never assume external data.
Who is this for?
Founders, finance partners and HR/operations leaders who plan headcount, capacity, cost and investment in people.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is general educational planning guidance, not financial, tax or accounting advice. Confirm figures and treatment with qualified professionals.
