About Employer Contribution Calculator

An employer's cost exceeds gross salary by statutory contributions to pension, insurance and gratuity accrual. Together these typically add close to a fifth, which is why cost to company always exceeds the salary offered.

Formula

Employer cost

Total = gross + gross × (pension + insurance + gratuity rates)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is gratuity really a monthly cost?

It accrues monthly even though it is paid on exit, so accounting standards require it to be provided for as earned.

Are contributions capped?

Often yes, on a ceiling wage, so the percentage of total salary falls as pay rises.
