What is Labour Rate Variance ?

Labour rate variance is a concept used in managerial accounting and cost accounting to analyze the difference between the actual labour rate paid to employees and the standard labour rate that was expected or budgeted for a given period. It helps assess how efficiently labour costs are being managed within an organization. Actual Labour Rate refers to the actual cost per unit of labor paid by the organization during a specific period. It includes wages or salaries, as well as any additional labour-related costs such as benefits, overtime, or bonuses. Labor rate variance analysis helps management understand the factors contributing to deviations in labour costs and take appropriate actions to control expenses. A positive variance may result from factors such as lower-than-expected wage rates, reduced overtime, or efficient labor utilization. A negative variance, on the other hand, may indicate higher-than-expected wage rates, increased overtime, or inefficiencies in labour management.

How to Calculate Labour Rate Variance?

Labour Rate Variance calculator uses Labour Rate Variance = Actual Time*(Standard Rate-Actual Rate)*Variance to calculate the Labour Rate Variance, Labour Rate Variance measures the difference between the actual labor rate and the standard labor rate. Labour Rate Variance is denoted by LR symbol.
