Fringe / payroll burden estimator

Estimate employer costs on top of gross wages. All default rates are examples only. They are not official union, state or federal rates. Check every rate with your payroll company, union agreement and insurer, and enter your own.

Gross wages ($)

Rates (% of gross), example defaults, edit them Employer payroll taxes (FICA, FUTA, SUTA combined) Union pension and health (P&H) Vacation and holiday Workers' compensation Payroll agency/handling fee

Wage caps aren't modeled (for example the Social Security wage base or SUTA limits), and some fringes are calculated on hours instead of a percentage. Treat this as a budgeting estimate, not a payroll calculation.
