Description
Shows the true cost to employ (payroll taxes + workers' comp) next to salaries on Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor & ZipRecruiter. A salary is not what an employee costs. On top of gross pay, a US employer owes Social Security and Medicare (FICA), federal unemployment (FUTA), state unemployment (SUI), any state-specific employer taxes, and workers' compensation. EmployerCosts adds a small badge next to every salary on job listings showing the fully-burdened annual cost to employ that role — and the burden as a percentage over salary. Click the badge for an itemized breakdown (every tax line, the total, and the fully-burdened hourly rate). Works on: Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter. Features 1. Fully-burdened employer cost next to each salary — no clicks, no copy-paste. 2. State-accurate: 2026 SUI wage bases + new-employer rates and state-specific employer taxes for all 50 states + DC, auto-detected from each listing's location. 3. Handles hourly ↔ annual and salary ranges (uses the midpoint). 4. Click for the itemized breakdown (Social Security, Medicare, FUTA, SUI, state-specific, workers' comp). 5. Employer-paid statutory costs only by default; employee withholdings are excluded. Optional benefits load and a fixed "my state" mode in the popup. https://employercosts.com/
