Your headcount, their real cost
Inputs
5-year cost breakdown
Why this beats a vendor deck
Fully-loaded, not sticker
Comp includes benefits + statutory, grown by local salary inflation year over year — not a single headline number.
Attrition is a line item
Replacement cost (attrition × ~20% of comp) is modelled explicitly — the hidden cost decks omit and India teams feel most.
Ramp-honest
Year-1 headcount is partial. LocationIQ shows year-1 vs steady-state separately instead of a flattering blended average.
Transparent & tunable
Every coefficient is visible and adjustable. Challenge the assumptions — that's the point. It's a model, not a pitch.

LocationIQ gets you an independent shortlist and a defensible TCO. When it's time to commit tens of crores, a location-shortlist advisory sprint tunes the coefficients to your actual role bands, negotiated rates and operating model — and puts an experienced hand on the board narrative.
