True cost of hiring
Move from annual gross salary to total employer cost, with each employer Social Security contribution itemised. See what hiring really costs.
This only changes the distribution: €2,000.00 gross per payment.
Sets the minimum base. The estimate assumes full-time employment.
This depends on the activity and occupation. The initial 1.5% is only a reference.
How it is calculated
We apply the 2026 employer rates to the contribution base: common contingencies (23.6%), unemployment (5.5% for permanent or 6.7% for temporary contracts), FOGASA (0.2%), vocational training (0.6%) and MEI (0.75%).
Work accident and occupational disease contributions depend on the activity and occupation, so you can enter the percentage. The initial 1.5% is a reference, not a universal rate.
The contribution group sets the minimum base and the ordinary base is capped at €5,101.20/month. For pay above that cap, we add the 2026 employer solidarity contribution. The number of payments only distributes annual gross salary.
Effective hourly cost divides total annual cost by 1,720 hours, a common reference working year after holidays and public holidays. Your collective agreement may set a different working year, so treat this as a guide.
