FRINGE BENEFIT COSTS
Introduction
The workbook calculates the fringe benefit costs for one employee.
The "Summary" worksheet illustrates the annual cost in both dollars and as a % of salary
for an employee earning $25,000/year (fringes are 95% of salary) to $200,000/year
16% of salary). In this example, we have assumed the health insurance
coverage is average, the employee has coverage for his family and the employer
is providing 80% of the cost of the insurance.
