# Labor cost

**For:** Manager | Admin
**You'll need:** Permission to view reports (your manager will know).

The labor cost report rolls up total hours, total cost, and average cost per hour for each location over a date range. Use it to track spend without leaving the schedule data.

## Open the report

::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: platform

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

1. In the header, open the **Reports** dropdown.
2. Under **Financial**, click **'Labor cost'**.
:::

:::{tab-item} Mobile app
:sync: mobile

1. Tap **More** in the bottom bar.
2. Tap **'Manager'**.
3. Tap **'Labour cost and compliance'**.
4. Stay on the **'Labour cost'** tab (the **'Compliance'** tab is the overtime view — see {doc}`overtime-and-compliance`).

The mobile view shows the active date range, the total cost, and a **'By location'** list with hours and cost per location. Average cost per hour and the CSV/XLSX/PDF export are web-only.

## Export

See {doc}`exports` for CSV, XLSX, and PDF details.

Each row is one location, with totals for hours, cost, and average cost per hour over the selected range.

## Verify it worked

The locations on the page match the ones in your **'Location'** filter (or all of them if the filter is empty). For each row, average cost per hour equals total cost divided by total hours.
