What Would You Save Hiring This Role in India?
A UK salary is never just the salary. Add employer National Insurance and the pension you have to auto-enrol them into, and the real cost is higher than the number in the job ad. Here is that figure, next to what the same role costs in India.

UK figures use published 2025/26 tax year employer National Insurance and auto-enrolment pension rates. Our fee is the published rate card. Indian salary figures are indicative estimates for a full-time hire, not a quote — tell us the role and we will come back with an exact monthly cost.
How to read the result
The UK column
Gross salary, plus the two costs every UK employer carries on top of it. Employer National Insurance is charged at 15% on earnings above the £5,000 secondary threshold. Workplace pension is the auto-enrolment minimum of 3%, applied to qualifying earnings — the band between £6,240 and £50,270, not the whole salary. Both figures are for the 2025/26 tax year.
Two things the UK column deliberately leaves out, because they vary too much to assume: recruitment fees, which commonly run to 15–20% of first-year salary, and the cost of a desk, a computer and software licences. Including them would flatter the comparison, so we don't.
If your business claims the Employment Allowance, you may offset up to £10,500 of your total employer NI bill across the whole payroll — worth factoring in separately, since it applies to your business rather than to any one hire.
The India column
One all-in figure: what your hire is paid, the statutory employment costs that go with it in India, and our management fee. There is nothing else to add — no employer NI, no pension auto-enrolment, no separate payroll charge.
These India figures are indicative benchmarks for a full-time hire, not a quote. The real number depends on the seniority you need and the salary band the role commands. Send us the role and we will come back with an exact figure.
Before you compare providers
Four questions worth asking anyone quoting you
-
Is the quote all-in?
Ask whether statutory employer costs are inside the number or added later. It is the single biggest source of surprise on a first invoice.
-
Who pays to replace someone?
If the hire leaves in month three, find out now whether the replacement search is included or billed again.
-
What exchange rate do you use?
A competitive fee can be quietly undone by an unfavourable FX rate applied every month. Ask specifically.
-
What is the minimum term?
A monthly price means little if you are committed for twelve months regardless.
