FWIW that is not the average salary in the tech industry.

At the average American salary (approx. $60,000) Bungie could have employed 40 people for one year on what this guy spent on cars.

Probably significantly fewer. Here in the UK someone’s salary is about half of what it costs a business to employ them. It might be more than that in the USA but there will be other non-salary costs per employee.

Looks like the rule for the US is much different, only 1.25-1.4x the salary in total costs. That average salary is probably only correct for a junior employee though. But you can safely assume it’s around 100k at least per employee.

The most common number for fully burdened payroll in the US is around 20%. It’s very region, industry, and company specific though.
