How the calculators work

Each page shows its formula, so you can check the arithmetic or run it in a spreadsheet.
Massachusetts figures such as the $15.00 minimum wage, the $6.75 service rate and the PFML rates come from the official sources in our answer library.
Where no official benchmark exists, the page says so and uses only your own numbers.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is stored or sent to us.

Your restaurant remains the employer of record and approves payroll and employment decisions. BOHO is not a PEO, a staffing agency, or legal counsel. The calculators give estimates. They do not replace your payroll system or your tax adviser.
