How it works

Total cost is gross salary plus the contributions the employer pays on top. For a budget, the calculator finds the gross pay at which salary and employer contributions use up exactly that amount, and works out the net pay from there. Here the employer pays the same Class 1 Social Security contribution as the employee (10% of the basic weekly wage, between the weekly minimum and maximum) and 0.3% to the Maternity Leave Trust Fund. Salary means basic salary; statutory bonuses are not included.
