Hiring Cost Calculator
Full French salary simulator inspired by mon-entreprise.urssaf.fr. Enter any amount — employer cost, gross, net before or after tax — and all others update instantly. 2026 rates & RGDU included.
Indicative Estimates Only
This simulator uses 2026 standard rates and the neutral PAS grid. Actual amounts depend on your collective bargaining agreement, local transport levy, specific AT/MP rate, applicable exemptions, and individual tax rate. The RGDU calculation is simplified and may differ from your actual payroll. For precise calculations tailored to your situation, contact our team.
Understanding French Employer Costs in 2026
In France, employer social charges (cotisations patronales) typically add 40-50% on top of the gross salary. This simulator accounts for all mandatory contributions including health insurance, pensions (AGIRC-ARRCO), unemployment, family allowances, and the réduction générale de cotisations (RGDU) for salaries below 3x the minimum wage.
Key 2026 parameters: PASS = 48,060 EUR/year (4,005 EUR/month) — SMIC = 1,823.03 EUR/month gross (21,876.36 EUR/year).
