At Stafftax, we recommend discussing and agreeing salaries in gross terms.
You can use our Net to Gross Salary Calculator to estimate the gross wage from the amount your employee wants to “take home.” Simply enter the net pay per week or month, and the calculator will show the corresponding gross salary per week, month, and year.
Please note: if a net salary has been agreed, the employer must cover the employee’s pension contribution in addition to their own.
Important information to note:
These calculations are for guidance only and not to be used to pay your employee.
All employees, including household staff, have a legal minimum holiday entitlement. Work out how much your employee is entitled too with our holiday calculator.
