Compliance Audit Preparation Cost Calculator
Estimate the total cost of preparing for a compliance audit, including internal staff time, external consultants, technology and tools, documentation efforts, and remediation activities.
### Internal Staff Costs
Number of Internal Staff Involved
Average Hourly Rate per Staff Member ($)
Average Hours per Staff Member Spent on Preparation
Overhead / Burden Rate (% of labor cost, e.g. 30 for 30%)
### External Consultant Costs
Total External Consultant Hours
Consultant Hourly Rate ($)
### Technology & Tools
Compliance Software / Tool Licensing Cost ($)
IT Support Hours for Audit Preparation
IT Staff Hourly Rate ($)
### Documentation & Training
Documentation Preparation Cost ($)
Staff Training Cost ($)
### Remediation & Gap Closure
Number of Compliance Gaps Identified
Average Cost to Remediate Each Gap ($)
### Contingency
Contingency Buffer (% of total costs, e.g. 10 for 10%)

#### Formulas Used
1. Burdened Internal Labor Cost: Base Labor = Staff Count × Avg Hourly Rate × Hours per Staff Burdened Labor = Base Labor × (1 + Overhead Rate / 100)
2. External Consultant Cost: Consultant Cost = Consultant Hours × Consultant Hourly Rate
3. Technology & IT Cost: Tech Cost = Software Licensing Cost + (IT Hours × IT Hourly Rate)
4. Documentation & Training Cost: Doc & Training = Documentation Cost + Training Cost
5. Remediation Cost: Remediation = Number of Gaps × Avg Cost per Gap
6. Subtotal: Subtotal = Burdened Labor + Consultant Cost + Tech Cost + Doc & Training + Remediation
7. Contingency: Contingency = Subtotal × (Contingency Rate / 100)
8. Total Preparation Cost: Total = Subtotal + Contingency
