Staff payback and wage burden

A hire costs you twice: the fee on the day you sign, then the wage every single day after that, whether the shop is busy or not. Type in what your day actually nets and this sheet tells you how many days each fee takes to save, what each hire's wage eats from that income, and what the whole payroll looks like over your planning horizon.

Row order
Nine hires, recorded from the saved wiki worker roster. Fees are one-time, wages repeat daily. Slide the sheet sideways to reach the three columns this calculator writes.
