The total cost of employment is an important figure for domestic employers to consider when budgeting for staff. It represents the employer’s full outgoings related to an employee’s salary.
Salary is only one part of this cost. Employers must also budget for National Insurance contributions, pension payments, statutory entitlements such as holiday and sick pay, and the legal requirement for Employer’s Liability insurance.
You can use our Gross to Total Salary Calculator to estimate the total cost of employment from your employee’s gross wage. Simply enter the gross pay per week or month, and the calculator will show the total cost per week, month, and year.
Important information to note:
These calculations are for guidance only and not to be used to pay your employee.
All employees, including household staff, have a legal minimum holiday entitlement. Work out how much your employee is entitled too with our holiday calculator.
