When engaging contingent labor, the Markup will be added to the Pay Rate (what the worker gets) to generate a Bill Rate (what the Supplier gets). The markup is comprised of Tax obligations (costs to the supplier which can vary by state and type of engagement) Overhead Costs, and Profit.

The Negotiation Worksheet found in the Find A Rate section, will help you analyze a Bill Rate that a Supplier has submitted to you. Use this worksheet to identify the location of the engagement to see the Supplier's tax obligations (costs) and how the Profit component breaks down. Often you will find room to negotiate in the profit component. This worksheet can identify the Pay Rate that will result from negotiating the markup with the Supplier.
Pay Rate
This is found in the Advanced Analysis section. The Pay Rate is the part of the Bill Rate that goes to the worker. Bill Rate minus the Markup amount will result in the Pay Rate.
