Man-hours from real CTC
Each assignee's hourly rate is derived from their CTC (annual CTC over ~2,000 working hours), costed per sub-head as labour lines — not a flat, made-up number.
Job costing
Know what every engagement actually costs
Most firms price on gut and find out the margin at year-end, if ever. T4Suite costs the engagement as you plan it — man-hours from each person's real CTC, overhead applied automatically, set against the fee — so the partner sees the margin on the job, not a surprise in the P&L.
And the whole costing block is field-level hidden from staff: the team sees the work, only partners see the money.
Overhead, applied automatically
Firm overhead — rent, travel, expenses — is derived onto each job from your overhead settings and annual hours, so the cost includes what it really costs to keep the lights on.
Direct costs, fees and margin
Add direct-cost lines and the client-facing fee, and the margin falls out per engagement — the number that tells you whether a retainer is worth keeping.
WIP the partner can see
Completed-but-unbilled work shows as WIP in rupees, so revenue you've earned but not yet invoiced is visible — and none of it is exposed to staff.
Questions firms ask
How does T4Suite calculate the cost of a job?
It costs man-hours from each assignee's CTC (annual CTC ÷ ~2,000 hours) per sub-head, adds firm overhead applied automatically from your settings and any direct costs, and sets the total against the fee to show margin.
Can employees see fees and margins?
No. The costing and fee block is hidden from staff at field level — employees see their tasks and hours, only partners and authorised roles see fees, costs and margin.
Does it show work in progress?
Yes. Completed-but-unbilled work is tracked as WIP in rupees, so partners can see earned-but-uninvoiced value at any time.
