In-house IT managers and specialists in Phoenix typically earn upwards of $80,000 – 90,000 annually. Even at the lower end, outsourcing to MBPS provides significant monthly savings.

Our calculator includes overlooked employer costs that can add 25%–30% or more to base salaries, 401(k) contributions, health insurance, payroll taxes, PTO, and other benefits. These “hidden” expenses substantially increase the true cost of a full-time hire.

Additionally, IT professionals in Phoenix average only 1–3 years of tenure, leading to recurring recruitment, onboarding, and training costs. Each departure disrupts continuity and incurs expenses as new hires learn your systems.

During these transitions, productivity suffers. Non-technical employees are pulled into IT tasks, leading to inefficiencies, avoidable errors, and time spent away from their primary responsibilities.

When all these factors are considered: salary, burden, turnover, and downtime, MBPS offers unmatched value both financially and operationally.
