True cost of a hire (employer NI + pension)

What an employee actually costs: gross salary plus employer National Insurance at 15% above £5,000, plus the minimum 3% auto-enrolment pension on qualifying earnings.

Estimates only — not tax, legal or financial advice. 2026/27 rates per gov.uk and The Pensions Regulator. Employer NI has no upper limit. Employment Allowance (£10,500) is a per-EMPLOYER offset with restricted eligibility, so it is deliberately NOT applied here. Under-21s, apprentices under 25 and veterans attract 0% employer NI up to £50,270. Pension is shown on the qualifying-earnings band; many schemes certify an alternative basis.

Built for agents too. Every number here is one JSON call away:
