Quick Hiring Guide

Actual employee cost is usually higher than base salary.
Salary is only one part of the total hiring cost.

Many businesses budget only the monthly salary and forget the extra employer-side cost. This tool helps make staffing decisions more realistic before you hire.

  • 13th month increases annual cost
  • government contributions add monthly burden
  • allowances and bonuses affect total staffing budget
  • one hire can cost more than expected over 12 months
