How much does an employee really cost?▾

Typically 1.2 to 1.4 times gross salary once statutory contributions, gratuity, insurance and workspace costs are included.

ESI applies to employees earning up to ₹21,000 a month gross (₹25,000 for persons with disability) in covered establishments. Employer pays 3.25% and employee 0.75%.

15 days' wages per year divided by 26 working days and 12 months equals 15/26/12 ≈ 4.81% of monthly basic.
