On top of base pay, an employer typically covers payroll taxes, benefits (health, retirement, paid time off), equipment, software, and a share of overhead. Together these commonly add 20–40% or more on top of salary, so the true cost of a hire is meaningfully higher than the headline number.
The cost multiplier is the fully-loaded annual cost divided by the base salary. A multiplier of 1.3, for example, means the employee really costs 1.3 times their salary once taxes, benefits, and overhead are included. It is a quick way to translate a salary into a true cost.
A ready-to-use spreadsheet (Excel & Google Sheets): a build-up of base pay, taxes, benefits, and overhead into a fully-loaded cost, multiplier, and hourly rate, with room to compare roles — delivered instantly after checkout. AI-assisted, human-built; not financial or HR advice.
