HOW THE CALCULATION WORKS

Monthly employer cost = salary × (1 + employer on-cost rate). Cost per productive hour divides that amount by the productive hours entered. Paid time off, sickness, holidays and non-billable work reduce productive hours.

Employer contribution rates differ by country, employment contract and year. Enter your own estimated combined percentage. This simplified model excludes separate allowances, equipment, insurance, recruitment, VAT and other overhead unless you include them in the on-cost rate.
