What does leadership cost?

Senior technology leadership is one of the largest fixed costs a growing company takes on. Put your own numbers in and see a full-time CTO and a fractional engagement side by side. This is an illustration, not a quote.

Cost comparison

Two inputs you control.

Adjustable assumption. Include salary, benefits, equity, and overhead, not just base pay.

Provisional assumption within the published range. Confirmed before any engagement begins.

Assumptions

  • Full-time cost defaults to a round figure that stands in for total compensation. Real figures vary widely by market, stage, and scope.
  • The fractional figure is a monthly engagement amount, multiplied by twelve for an annual comparison.
  • The comparison is cost only. It does not attempt to value speed, ramp time, risk, or the difference in scope between the two.

This is an illustrative comparison, not a quote. Actual costs vary by company, scope, and market. Engagement figures are confirmed before any work begins.

This is the quick two-input version. For a fuller picture, with sliders that break out benefits, overhead, and recruiting, and a one-off consultant compared alongside, use the Fractional vs. full-time CTO tool.
