Czech employer cost calculator 2026

What the tool computes

From a monthly gross salary it derives social insurance (7.1 % employee, 24.8 % employer at the standard rate), health insurance at the single 13.5 % rate, and the income-tax advance at 15 % and 23 %. It applies the maximum social assessment base, the health-insurance minimum assessment base, tax credits and child allowances, the contribution discount for eligible categories, and the employer's statutory liability insurance. The output is the employee's net pay and the employer's total cost, itemised, with the legal basis stated for each line.

What the tool does not compute

• It models a standard employment relationship only. DPP and DPČ agreements are out of scope by design.
• It does not model the employer's wage compensation for the first 14 days of sickness.
• It does not model concurrent employment with several employers — neither for the social maximum nor for the health-insurance minimum.
• The annual view assumes twelve identical months.
• Disapplying the annual maximum to statutory liability insurance is a rule both administrators publish but no statute states; the methodology flags it as the tool's weakest-founded operative rule.
• Mapping a CZ-NACE code to a liability rate is not unambiguous; for some codes the insurers' own converters resolve to two different rates.
