Cost of employee calculatorTable of contents
Employer‑side ZUS contributions are a key element of employment cost. They make employer cost higher than gross salary. If you want a quick total for a full‑time position, use the employee cost calculator.
The employer usually pays pension, disability and accident contributions. Additionally, in many cases there are funds: Labour Fund (FP) and FGŚP. These items make up the so‑called employer surcharges.
Contribution amounts are not identical in every company. They depend on:
In practice two employees with the same gross can generate different employer cost.
Contribution levels depend on the base (gross), contract type and employee situation. There is no single fixed amount for all cases. In practice statutory limits, special employee statuses and exemptions matter.
FP and FGŚP are not always mandatory. Their application depends on the contract type and statutory conditions. In borderline cases it is worth comparing several cost variants.
Employer cost is the sum of gross salary and employer‑side contributions. For the full mechanism see Employee cost — what it is and how to calculate it.
The calculator breaks cost into components. This is useful for budgeting because you can see which parts are the largest. Remember the result is indicative and depends on input data.
With employment contracts, employer contributions are standard. With mandates, contribution obligations can differ depending on the circumstances. This means the cost can be lower or higher — depending on contractor status and other factors. For a quick comparison use the mandate contract calculator.
The easiest way is to use a calculator that breaks cost into components and shows what exactly makes up employer cost. It saves time and allows you to compare several variants.
If you want to see the difference between gross, net and employer cost, use the net salary calculator or calculate the full cost in the employee cost calculator.
