Approximately 100% salary overhead is pretty standard, so eight $125k employees plus infrastructure and office costs sounds reasonable.

My thoughts as well. Roughly 250k per employee?
Re: What It Costs to Run Let's Encrypt
#6I'm quite surprised - $2.06 on staffing seemed steep, so obviously read on as I was thinking that there must be a lot of employees. But 8? OK, I'm just a teacher, and I earn around £30k a year... not the kind of figures I've seen bandied about on here for graduate programmers who seem to be pulling in 8-10 times that for their first job... So I'd be interested to see a breakdown of the payroll (which I doubt would happen) - an average of $250k seem normal to others on here?

If you want something this critical done correctly, is it really that steep?

I'd like to see it broken down further by staff, it would be interesting to see the responsibilities of the "Executive Director" and weigh up the salary difference between that and the median salary of the rest of the team.

250k per employee all-in (benefits, etc) doesn't seem that outrageous being in SF. Plus I'm guessing they're all high caliber employees given the scale of what they set out to do and what they've accomplished with a relatively small team.
