From April, businesses across the UK will be hit with changes in National Insurance contributions. If you’re an employer, you might be wondering: how much extra will this cost me? And more importantly, is there a smarter way to manage these costs?
At R50, we’ve created a National Insurance Calculator to help employers work out exactly how much they’ll be paying. But beyond that, we want to highlight a crucial way businesses can reduce their overheads—by outsourcing to an agency like us.
Understanding the Cost of Employer National Insurance
Employers are legally required to pay National Insurance contributions (NICs) for each employee who earns above a certain threshold. These contributions go towards funding state benefits like pensions and the NHS, but they also represent a significant cost for businesses – especially when rates increase.
From April, changes to National Insurance will mean many businesses will see their outgoings rise. If you rely on direct hires, that means higher payroll costs and less money to invest in other areas of your business.
Why Agencies Like R50 Can Save You Money
When you work with an agency like R50 Website Design & Marketing, you don’t have to pay employer National Insurance at all. Here’s why:
- No Employer NICs – When you hire staff directly, you pay 13.8% (going up to 15%) in National Insurance on earnings above the threshold. With an agency, this cost is eliminated.
- No Pension or Holiday Pay Contributions – Direct hires also mean pension auto-enrolment, sick pay, and holiday pay, adding more expense.
- Flexible, Scalable Solutions – Instead of hiring full-time employees, you can access expert support only when you need it, avoiding unnecessary financial commitments.
Use Our National Insurance Calculator
We designed our National Insurance Calculator to give employers a quick and easy way to see how much they’ll be paying under the new rates. Simply input your employees’ salaries, and the calculator will show you the total National Insurance contributions you’ll be responsible for.
