Open the file and read instructions on how to use the Excel template and which all information the user needs to fill up. This tool has pre-filled data like Labour Minute Value (LMV) as per wage level.

The calculator enables suppliers and buyers to determine the cost of one minute of labour in a factory, taking into account factory-specific variables such as workforce composition, bonuses and insurance and actual overtime hours. This tool is an important step forward in ensuring brands’ purchasing practices related to pricing (CMT and FOB) support living wages.
