Service - Employers’ NIC calculator

The new Employers’ National Insurance rates are coming online in April 2025, and we know they’ve raised a lot of questions for businesses like yours.

If you’re still wondering what the changes announced in the 2024 Autumn Budget mean for your payroll costs, our NI calculator is a great place to start. Simply input a salary, NI code and salary sacrifice pension (if applicable) to see how much more you’ll pay for an employee under the new rates compared to last year.

 

If you are unsure which NI code your employees are under, use “A,B,C, J”. Employers can look at employing apprentices to decrease NI costs (NI code H) as Employers’ NICs are only due above the upper earnings limit.
