Quick answer
How do you work out the savings from outsourcing?
Add up the full cost of hiring in-house, meaning salary plus employer on-costs such as National Insurance and benefits, then compare it with the outsourcing quote. The savings calculator below does this for UK or US salaries. Across APEX KPO engagements, outsourcing typically costs 40–60% less than an equivalent in-house hire.
