Offshoring is Win-Win - McKinsey summarizes their cost-benefit calculation for one dollar of outsourcing as follows: Savings accrued to U.S. investors and/or customers from lower costs resulting from the use of outsourcing come to $0.58 Imports of U.S. goods and services by providers in India equal $0.05 Profits transferred by U.S. overseas affiliates to parents equal $0.04 The value from U.S. labor reemployed is conservatively estimated to be $0.45 to $0.47 - This gives a total gross gain to the United States of $1.12 to $1.14 for every dollar of work offshored to India, for a net increase in U.S. income of 12 to 14 cents per dollar of offshore outsourcing. In addition, McKinsey did a similar calculation for India and concluded that India gains a total of $0.33 for every dollar of U.S. outsourcing. 8
