RGN, HCA, support, mental health. Framework caps respected.
Healthcare recruitment runs on its own rules: DBS upcosts, framework rate caps, NHS vs private pricing logic, per-trust commercial terms. RateCalc.io is shaped around those rules, not the other way round.
Card needed to start. Nothing is taken for 7 days, and if you cancel before day 8 you pay nothing.
Cap warnings before the quote leaves your screen
Charge rate shown against the trust cap visually. Headroom or breach surfaced before you hit send so quotes that would be rejected never go out.
Framework cap warnings before you send the quote
Quoting above the NHS framework cap means the trust rejects the rate, the candidate goes elsewhere, you lose the shift. We surface the cap before send so the quote that goes out is the quote that wins.
- Per-role rate caps configured per framework (NHSP, Crown Commercial, regional)
- Warning fires if your charge rate breaches the cap before send
- Per-trust commercial terms held separately so the right rate goes to the right trust automatically
Built around how healthcare recruitment actually works.
The deep, real features that move the needle for this vertical. Each one ships out of the box, no add-on, no integration to configure.
RGN / HCA / support worker pay tiers
Pre-set pay tiers per role band so consultants do not have to remember whether an HCA Band 2 is £12.80 or £13.20. The rate card stays current; the quote stays accurate.
DBS, mandatory training, uniform upcosts
Compliance costs are real costs. Price them per role per worker so margin reflects what it actually costs to deliver a compliant placement.
Per-trust commercial terms
NHS trusts vs private hospitals have very different payment terms and rebate schedules. Hold them per client on the ToB so future quotes never use the wrong defaults.
Per-shift premium logic
Days, nights, weekends, on-call. Premiums vary by role and trust. Configure once, apply automatically.
Compliance-aware ToB clauses
DBS, RTW, mandatory training, indemnity wording. Optional clauses can be toggled on for sensitive trusts, off for private clients. Default set stays untouched.
Audit trail on every signed ToB
CQC inspections, framework audits, internal reviews. Every signed Terms of Business comes with signer email, IP, timestamp, ready for any compliance request.
DBS, training, uniform, PPE priced in per role
Compliance is a real cost. We bake it into every quote per role so the margin you see reflects what it actually costs to deliver a compliant placement, not the headline rate.
NHS trusts vs private hospitals, held separately
Different trusts have very different fee, payment and rebate terms. Each one is held against the client so future quotes always use the right defaults automatically.
- Public Cost of Hire calculator for trust and private-sector buyers
- Branded NHS-friendly proposal templates
- Optional extras for uniform, PPE, vaccinations priced separately
- A/B quote comparison for tendering against alternative agencies
Stay within the cap. Stay on the framework. Stay winning.
