Understanding the calculations behind the Portugal Recruitment Cost Calculator 2024
Whether you are the Director of a multi-million organisation, setting up a new company in Portugal , or have a business venture in Portugal, knowing where your money goes and how much you spend on employment resources is essential. Staff costs in Portugal are one of the biggest expenditures for a company, but it isn’t just wages that cost the business money, there are additional expenditures, known more commonly as 'on-costs' or 'onboarding-costs'.
Calculating the true cost of an employee in Portugal can seem very complex but, as with most financial calculations with multiple elements, they can each be placed into simple cost buckets which allow us to provide a simple working formula:
tce = sc + bc + oc + fc
where:
- tce = The True Cost of an Employee in Portugal
- sc = Salary Costs in Portugal
- bc = Benefit Costs in Portugal
- oc = Onboarding Costs in Portugal
- fc = Facilities in Portugal
Each of these costs includes a number of sub elements which are defined within the calculator where you can enter specific amounts or a percentage rate for benchmarking expenditure. Please review the supporting guide "Calculating the 'True Cost of an Employee in Portugal' in 2024" which explains the associated costs computed within this calculator.
