Employers NIC implications when taking on a new employee
Permalink Closed


minimum wage £6.19 * 30 hours * 52 weeks (assuming paid holidays) = £9656.40

Employers NI allowance (annualised for a quick simple calculation here) = 7488

9656.40-7488 * 13.8% = 299.24

hth,

Shaun.

 

p.s. edited due to silly typo in the final figure.

Sorry for the numerous threads this week.

A client has rang saying that he is thinking of taking a new employee on doing 30 hours at minimum wage. He wants to know what the implications would be and if it would be worth taking them on or would he be paying out too much. I take it he means employers NIC.

I've had a look on the hmrc website but can't seem to find anything.

Shaun has given the ER NIC cost but is the client currently an employer or will this be their first employee?

If first then there is a whole lot of employment law issues that they need to be aware off, as well as registering as an employer.

If they are already an employer then they should be aware of the above and may be they just need to know what the additonal costs over their wage will be.

Regards

Thanks both! He already has employees. Is the £299.24 what he will pay in employers NIC?

Hi Noola,

assuming all other facts are correct resulting in 9656.40 per annum then that would be the amount paid if the employee worked a full year.

The holiday rates of pay probably need to be taken into account but as a basis figure that would be the maximum employers NI that would be paid in this instance.

If you come up with any additional facts post again and I'll give you the adjusted figure.

kind regards,

Shaun.
