7. Google the average costs of everything there. You can find salaries on many job posting websites. Salaries can be either by the hour or year, but I find year much easier here

8. Add in the number of units (for people this should be in Full-Time Equivalent, or FTE - someone working 5 days a fortnight is 0.5 FTE usually)

9. Add in on-costs. For people, this depends on where you are, but generally 15% is a reasonable guesstimate. Being specific here is a good idea, but it depends on local laws/regulations, and company policy For G&S, on-costs vary widely, Google is again your friend

10. Multiply: Cost*Units*On-costs to get total cost. Then, add them up underneath

11. CHECK THAT YOU'VE ADDED CORRECTLY. I cannot stress this enough, probably half of all budgets I've seen have simple addition errors Now, check it again

12. Go through one last time to make sure that EVERYTHING is there. Check your sums again. Put a line at the bottom with the overall total and make it stand out (bigger font, colours etc)
