Overview Clare Capital - Tech Insights 48 - Australasian Tech Wages & Salaries Costs - 20170728 This report looks at staff costs (primarily wages and salaries for employees of a company) as a percentage of revenue and how it changes given the revenue of a company. There is a lot of variation in staff costs for smaller companies (revenue between $1-5 million). However, once a company reaches a certain scale (revenue greater than $20 million) than staff costs remain around 35-45% of revenue. Only staff costs which have been expensed (i.e. employee costs on the Profit & Loss statement) have been included. This does not include any staff costs which have capitalised (i.e. capitalised development costs on the Cash Flow statement). For example, some Tech companies capitalise the salaries of developers working on the product/platform (i.e. Research & Development). This will not be included in the staff costs below and will undervalue the 'actual' staff costs as a % of revenue.

Staff Costs (% of Revenue) from the Profit & Loss Statement - excluding capitalised development costs Staff Costs Definition Revenue 1M-5M 5M-20M 20M-50M 50M-150M 150M+ Staff Costs represents the total compensation to employees for services.
