Additional costs may include your estimated employer National Insurance, employer pension contributions and other employment costs. Enter appropriate figures yourself; this tool does not calculate statutory deductions or liabilities.

Productive hours exclude time unavailable for productive work. Avoid adding paid holiday costs twice when already included in annual gross pay. The result is an employment-cost estimate, not a selling rate or profit calculation.
