Employee cost calculator
What one worker really costs you for each hour on the job.
Uses 2026 to 2027 rates: employer NI of 15% on earnings above £5,000. Employment Allowance of up to £10,500 can reduce a qualifying firm's bill, and is not deducted here. The pension figure is your own input. Excludes tools, van, training and insurance.
