How employer cost works

Enter gross earnings per employee and the number of employees on the same pay and frequency. Add the employer NIS contribution to each employee’s gross pay, then multiply by the count. Mixed salaries should be calculated separately.

What the estimate excludes

Leave accruals, severance provisions, pension schemes, insurance, benefits, recruitment and other business costs are not included. Employee PAYE is withheld from gross pay and is not an extra employer contribution.

Employer considerations

Ordinary private-sector employee, category R. Government, apprentices and pensionable-age categories use different contribution rates. The Resilience & Regeneration Fund is shown separately. Employer contributions are paid in addition to gross earnings; they are not deducted from an employee’s net pay.

From one employee to an entire payroll

Import your employee spreadsheet into Sheetpay Accountant, review the payroll and approve it before finalization. Keep NIS identifiers and employee tax details with each record.

Does this replace an employee tax code?

Can I calculate payroll for multiple employees?
