What is your actual cost per employee?

Calculating your actual cost per employee is more involved than just looking at your Gross Wages, although they do form a large part of it.


Other employee costs may include:

  1. Superannuation 
  2. Payroll Tax
  3. Workers’ Compensation
  4. Motor Vehicle Expenses
  5. Telephone


Once you have totalled these you can then apportion them across your employees.


The formula:


Cost per employee = total employee costs / number of employees


In this calculation you will need to allow for the fact that some of the employees may be part time or casual.
