How much each employee costs the company
The cost of an employee to the company is the gross salary plus the contributions the company pays for them. The Management › People › Total cost of the company screen shows it per employee and per month, from the processed payslips.
What the screen shows
A table with one employee per row and, for each month, six columns (the Measures):
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| Gross | Pay before deductions. |
| Deductions of the worker | What is withheld from the employee on the payslip. |
| net | What the employee receives: gross minus deductions. |
| Contributions of the company | What the company pays to Social Security for them. |
| Other costs of the company | Other charges the company bears for them. |
| Total cost of the company | The cost of the employee to the company. |
In the example, Empresa Demonstração, Lda has four months with payslips (June to September 2026). The total for the four is €45,314.67 gross, €10,762.30 in company contributions and €56,076.97 total cost. Other costs of the company is at €0.00. The total cost of a month is between €13,707.39 and €14,305.52. The Management profile sees this screen.
What the screen does not see
- Only months with processed payslips appear. A month without a payslip has no column.
- The screen adds up what the payslips contain. It does not project raises or new hires: for that, the raise simulator uses the assumptions below.
People assumptions
Management › People › People assumptions opens the company record, in the Management assumptions section. These are the company's choices, not legal rates:
- Cost of one departure (months of cost), Average IRS rate for simulations (%) and Work accident insurance (% of the payroll) feed the raise simulator.
- Balance in the FCT and Materiality threshold of the management panel (€500.00 in the example) decide which points reach the Management panel.
- Weekly people summary is in the Switches (off by default) section of the same record (not in the Copilot switches).
The Social Security rate paid by the company is not here: it is read from the payroll Social Security rates.
