Employer payroll cost calculator
Paste one gross salary per line — as plain numbers, or as "name;gross pay" for a whole team — and this tool works out what each employee actually costs to employ, not just what they are paid. It adds employer-side contributions and any flat benefits on top of the gross figure, and shows the employee's own contribution and net pay alongside it for context.
The contribution rates are editable percentages, so the calculator fits whichever country's payroll rules you're modeling rather than assuming one. Choose a monthly or annual period for the figures you paste in, and set the number of salary months per year above 12 to model a 13th or 14th bonus salary in the annual projection. Add a flat benefits or overhead amount per person, and a working-hours figure to convert the total cost of labor into an hourly rate — useful when comparing an employee's cost against a contractor's hourly quote. Pick a currency code and switch between a readable text report and a tab-separated table you can paste straight into a spreadsheet.
Lines are read as "name;gross pay", with the semicolon chosen deliberately so a comma inside the amount (as in "1 234,56") is read correctly rather than mistaken for a field separator. A line with no name is auto-numbered, and very long teams are totaled in full even though the tool trims the line-by-line breakdown for readability past a few dozen rows.
Everything runs in your browser. Salaries and names are never uploaded anywhere, which matters for a tool that handles real payroll numbers. Copy the result, download it as a .txt file, or send the output back into the input to adjust a rate and recalculate.
FAQ
What counts toward the total cost of labor?
Gross pay plus employer-side contributions (at the rate you set) plus any flat benefits or overhead you add per person. Employee contributions are shown separately for context, since they come out of the employee's own pay rather than adding to the employer's cost.
How does the 13th-salary option work?
Set "Salary months per year" above 12 (13 or 14) and the annual projection multiplies each employee's monthly cost by that many months instead of 12, so a bonus salary period is reflected in the yearly total.
Can I paste just amounts, without names?
Yes. A line with no name is auto-labeled "Employee 1", "Employee 2" and so on, and still counts toward the totals.
What rates should I use?
The employer and employee contribution rates are plain percentages you set yourself, so you can match your own country's social security, health insurance and payroll tax rules rather than a fixed default.
Is my payroll data uploaded anywhere?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser — names and salaries never leave your device.
