Built this after seeing too many hiring decisions made on base salary alone. The real cost of an employee is 1.25x to 1.4x their salary once you factor in payroll taxes, benefits, and overhead. This calculator makes that visible instantly. We built it for HRPay Pick, where we review HR and payroll software. The goal was to give HR teams and founders a quick sanity check before approving headcount. Would love to know if the numbers match what you see in your own compensation planning.
