All you need to start are:

• Hourly salary for a novice Lab Tech 
• Number of successful samples a novice Lab Tech takes in an hour
• Hours a Lab Tech spends sampling each day (or week)

Note that you can change any of the orange numbers. The others are calculated for you. The variables here are pre-filled with research-based figures. Others should be fairly straightforward to figure out for your institution. To ensure transparency, we also show how formulas are calculated.
