Total Employee Compensation Package Calculator for Small Business Owners

Your employees are the backbone of your business, and you’ll want to make sure they are compensated fairly for their hard work.

How will your employee benefits package affect your bottom line? Can you offer more benefits or do you need to wait until your business grows a bit more?

 

To calculate an employee’s impact on your budget, you will need to factor in their base salary; medical, life and dental benefits; 401(k) contributions; and other fringe benefits that you intend to offer. Adding all factors is the difference between a $75,000 employee and a $98,000 employee. Once you have an estimate, you can make a clear offer of employee and understand how the new hire’s costs will fit into the business’s budget.
