How much does an employee cost?

SELECT THE TAX CODE

If your employee has given you parts 2 and 3 of their current P45 then enter the tax code from the P45 below.

If you don't have this information select 'I don't know the tax code' and we will provide you with further options.

Tax Code

I don't know the tax code

I will be my employee's only employer

I will be the only employer of my employee to begin with, but she may take an additional job in the near future

My employee already has another job, but I will be the main employer for tax purposes

My employee already has another job, but I will be the second employer for tax purposes

My employee already has another job, and we expect to split the tax-free allowance (tax code) with the other employer

NET RATE REQUESTED? Always agree a gross pay rate if you can. Read about net pay rates here.

SCOTTISH TAXPAYER? The tax rates are slightly different. You can still use the calculator to get a rough idea by dropping the 'S' at the start of the tax code, or contact us for some firm figures.

PENSION will apply in most cases. Read about pensions here.

Figures are for guidance and not for using on payslips. When you register with ThePayTeam we'll give you firm figures, including pension, in a free personalised illustration.
