True cost of employment: salary, benefits, taxes, overhead and productivity
The Employee Cost Calculator shows the full cost of employing someone beyond their base salary — including employer payroll taxes, benefits, equipment, office overhead, and training — so you can see the true per-employee expense that affects headcount budgets and profitability decisions. It's used by HR managers, finance teams, and small business owners evaluating whether to hire.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sobre Esta Calculadora
The salary you agree on with a new employee is only part of what they cost the business. Employer-side payroll taxes, mandatory and voluntary benefits, the physical cost of a desk and equipment, training time, and management overhead all add up — typically bringing the real cost to 1.25–1.4 times base salary, and higher in countries with mandatory pension contributions or generous benefits packages.
This calculator breaks down every cost component so you can see the full number before making a hiring decision, building a headcount budget, or evaluating whether a contractor rate is actually more expensive than an employee equivalent.
The chart view shows the breakdown visually, making it easy to identify which cost categories are largest and where there might be room to restructure compensation. Understanding total employee cost also helps set client billing rates — if a consultant costs $90,000 all-in, billing them out at $45/hour on a 40-hour week produces zero margin.
