How to Calculate Employer Payroll Contributions
The company cannot do without the staff and workers need to be paid the wages. Therefore, all employers are faced with the need to calculate payroll taxes. If you do not want to fall under the penalties, you are required to calculate the required payments of wages in the budgetary and extra-budgetary funds in a timely manner.
Mandatory insurance contributions are paid by the employer for the benefit of wage-workers. The value of contributions is determined as a percentage of payrolls. From these contributions are paid retirement pensions and partly paid sick leaves.
