Ubique fees are billed in GBP. For other currencies the fee is converted at an indicative rate so the total reads in one currency.
Four lines, one budget
Gross salary. What you agree with the hire, before their income tax and employee-side contributions. In most countries this is the figure on the contract.
Employer contributions. What the law adds on top for the employer: social security, pension, health, unemployment and accident insurance. In Ireland it is 11%. In France it can pass 40%. The calculator takes the headline rate from Ubique Atlas for the country you pick.
Ubique fee. £499 per employee per month for Employer of Record, £29 per contractor per month for Contractor Management. Flat, no percentage of salary, no set-up fee. Volume discounts start at 25 employees and annual billing takes 10% off. See pricing.
Total. Salary plus contributions plus fee, per year and per month. That is the number to put in your plan.
Not included
Optional benefits (private health, meal allowances, supplementary pension), bonuses and commissions, equity, IT equipment, visa support, severance and 13th-month salaries where customary. Ask us for a per-country quote on the add-on services.
Contractors
Contractors invoice you and handle their own tax and social contributions, so employer contributions show as zero. Before you rely on that, run the free Misclassification Risk Check.
Precision
Real payroll applies contribution caps, bands and sector rates. For a salary close to a cap the estimate can be a few percent high. Your account manager gives you the exact figure before the contract is issued.
Same salary, three countries
A £60,000-equivalent gross salary for an employee via Employer of Record, using Atlas headline rates and 12 months of the standard fee.
| Country | Employer contributions | Ubique fee | Total annual | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ireland | 11.05% · £6,630 | £5,988 | £72,618 | £6,052 |
| United Kingdom | 13.8% · £8,280 | £5,988 | £74,268 | £6,189 |
| France | 42% · £25,200 | £5,988 | £91,188 | £7,599 |
The fee is the same everywhere. The contributions are not, which is why country choice often matters more than the Ubique line.
