Free GovCon tool Wrap rate calculator for government contract pricing
Build a transparent labor rate from direct labor, fringe, overhead, G&A, fee, escalation, and hours. Your approved accounting structure controls the final bid.
Your pricing assumptions
Example values are prefilled. Replace them with your approved rates.
Use your approved accounting structure. This estimator applies the bases you select. FAR 31.203 requires logical indirect-cost groupings and allocation bases that reflect the benefits received. Confirm your pools, rates, hourly equivalents, and solicitation instructions before you submit a price.
Use a current escalation benchmark.
CLEATUS checks the latest BLS wage-growth benchmark once per day. It is a planning reference, not your approved labor or indirect rate.
Automate award benchmarksSee every layer before you price the bid.
Each indirect rate applies to the base you select. Fee or profit stays outside the wrap multiplier.
