Overhead is normally 100 - 125% of what you pay an employee.

That covers, the employer part of the FICA and Medicare (in the US) the cost of other benefits, the cost of the employees supervisor, and his supervisor. And the people in HR, and payroll. And things like space, lights, computers, power, telephone (service and equipment), etc, etc.

Then add profit.
And then there is the idea of not the cost, but what are people willing to pay for this feature.
