What is a Blended Labor Rate?

A blended labor rate is the weighted average hourly rate for a group of workers. It is commonly used in project management and budgeting to estimate the overall labor costs when different team members have varying hourly rates. The blended rate provides a simplified figure that represents the average cost of labor per hour for the entire team or project.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Blended Labor Rate:

\[ \text{BLR} = \frac{1200}{40} = 30 \text{ dollars/hour} \]

The Blended Labor Rate is $30 per hour.
