## Formula

Blended rate = Σ(Rate of role i × Hours of role i) ÷ Σ(Hours of role i)

- Blended rate = Σ(Rate of role i × Hours of role i) ÷ Σ(Hours of role i).
- Inputs used: Currency, Rate per hour — role 1, Hours — role 1, Rate per hour — role 2, Hours — role 2, Rate per hour — role 3, Hours — role 3, Rate per hour — role 4, and other shown inputs.
- Edge handling: Rate per hour — role 1 is required.; Rate per hour — role 1 cannot be negative.; Rate per hour — role 1 must be no more than 1000000000000.; Hours — role 1 is required.; Hours — role 1 cannot be negative..

## Inputs

- Currency
- Rate per hour — role 1
- Hours — role 1
- Rate per hour — role 2
- Hours — role 2
- Rate per hour — role 3
- Hours — role 3
- Rate per hour — role 4
- Hours — role 4

## Worked example: Architect, two engineers and an analyst

The blend is weighted by the hours each role contributes.
1. Start with Currency: USD, Rate per hour — role 1: 200, Hours — role 1: 100, Rate per hour — role 2: 150, Hours — role 2: 300, Rate per hour — role 3: 120.
2. Apply the method: Blended rate = Σ(Rate of role i × Hours of role i) ÷ Σ(Hours of role i).
3. The blend is weighted by the hours each role contributes.

## Common questions

### Where does this formula come from?

OpenStax, Principles of Accounting Volume 2: Managerial Accounting — weighted average rates. See the source link on this page.

### What kind of calculation is this?

A weighted average of the role rates entered, using hours as the weights. Check the formula, example, and limitations on this page before using the result for a real professional & industry decision.

### What are its limits?

A blended rate hides the mix: the same blend can come from very different teams. Check the formula, example, and limitations on this page before using the result for a real professional & industry decision.

### How do I use the Blended Team Rate Calculator?

Enter the required values for Currency, Rate per hour — role 1, Hours — role 1, Rate per hour — role 2, Hours — role 2, and the other fields shown. The calculator applies the formula on this page and shows the main result with any supporting breakdown so you can check the arithmetic.

### What formula does the Blended Team Rate Calculator use?

Blended rate = Σ(Rate of role i × Hours of role i) ÷ Σ(Hours of role i) The visible formula section above lists the calculation path and the edge cases the page handles, so the result can be checked without relying on the form alone. Check the formula, example, and limitations on this page before using the result for a real professional & industry decision.

### Can the Blended Team Rate Calculator be used for exact decisions?

Use it as a calculation aid, not as a substitute for checking the underlying rule, contract, policy, or professional advice that applies to your situation. When a result depends on local rules, personal details, prices, or dates, enter those values yourself and confirm them before acting.

## Limitations and assumptions

- Inputs outside the supported range are rejected rather than forced into a result.
- The result depends on the values you enter for this blended team rate calculator; it does not supply missing rates, rules, prices, dates, or assumptions for you.
