In-house vs outsourced
One IT hire costs more than most teams expect.
A single in-house IT resource isn't just a salary. Once you add National Insurance, pension, training, payroll and the rest, the real cost climbs fast — and one person can only look after so many people before you need a second hire.
£30,000 salary + 43% overheads ≈ £42,900 a year, fully loaded, for every IT hire.
Up to 60 users per resource — grow past that and you're hiring again, holidays and sick days included.
Outsourcing to Britannia gives you a whole team — helpdesk, monitoring and security — from £20 per device per month.
