What payroll costs an employer, with an example

For 2026/27, employers pay National Insurance of 15% on earnings above £5,000 a year per employee. Employees pay 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 and 2% above. Eligible employers can claim an Employment Allowance of £10,500 against their bill, but it is not available if the director is the only person paid above the secondary threshold.

Worked example. An employee is paid £30,000 a year. Employer NI is 15% of £25,000, which is £3,750, so the true cost is £33,750 before pension. The employee pays income tax of £3,486 (20% of £17,430) and NI of £1,394.40 (8% of £17,430), leaving £25,119.60 before any pension deduction.
