Description
Calculate person-hours and a supplied intervention labor-cost contribution.
Policy analysis depends on declared eligibility bounds, reference periods, indicator direction and resource denominators. A linear phase-in or household weight is an explicit scenario assumption. A preferred-direction change, age predicate or cost contribution does not establish policy effectiveness, causal impact, actual eligibility or the governing legal rule.
Calculate person-hours and a supplied intervention labor-cost contribution.
When to use this tool
Use Intervention Cost Person Hour Input when you already have personCount, hoursPerPerson, suppliedCostPerHour and need to calculate person-hours and a supplied intervention labor-cost contribution.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter personCount, hoursPerPerson, suppliedCostPerHour. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read personHours, totalCost. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative safe whole personCount and nonnegative hoursPerPerson/costPerHour; return people*hours and that product*cost.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| personCount | Person Count | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| hoursPerPerson | Hours Per Person | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| suppliedCostPerHour | Supplied Cost Per Hour | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| personHours | Person Hours | Required. Finite number. |
| totalCost | Total Cost | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Assumes equal supplied time per person; no staffing adequacy, indirect costs or appropriate intervention is determined.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the full eligibility or phase-in rule and its source when evaluating a real policy record. For effectiveness questions, use a study design that addresses the comparator, timing and population; local costs or direction flags alone do not supply that evidence.
