Sheet Structure and Purpose

The template contains four main sheets:

2. Employee Costs & Productivity: The core data sheet where employee-specific information is tracked monthly.
3. Revenue by Team/Employee: Records the revenue generated by each team or individual contributor.

Data Structure and Columns (Employee Costs & Productivity Sheet)

This sheet tracks monthly performance for all employees. Each row represents a single employee’s data for a given month.

The template automatically populates the "Total Compensation Cost" using the formula: =Monthly Salary + Bonus + Benefits Cost + Overtime Pay

The "Avg. Productivity per Hour" is calculated as: =IF(Hours Worked > 0, Revenue Generated / Hours Worked, 0)

Revenue by Team/Employee Sheet

Data from this sheet is linked to the Employee Costs & Productivity sheet using VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to match employee IDs and calculate profitability metrics.

Key Formulas Used

• Total Compensation Cost: =B2 + C2 + D2 + E2
• Overtime Pay: =F2 * G2
• Avg. Productivity per Hour: =IF(H3 > 0, I3 / H3, 0)
• Profit Contribution (USD): =Revenue Generated - Total Compensation Cost
• Profit Margin (%): =IF(Total Compensation > 0, (Profit Contribution / Total Compensation) * 100, 0)
