Our UK staff cost calculator lets you estimate the annual cost of an employee to the business. The calculator assumes the employee is enrolled in a workplace pension, with the employer contributing 3% of their earnings between £6,240 and £50,270 annually. Employers’ national insurance is calculated at 15%, which comes into effect from April 2025.
The calculator includes the annual salary, workplace pension and employers’ national insurance costs from April 2025. The estimated employee costs are calculated annually and monthly. The figures do not include the annual employer national insurance allowance of £10,500 (effective from April 2025).
