Whether you appreciate it or not, your employer pays quite a bit of money, above and beyond the amount you see on your paycheck to keep you on their payroll. Our tool below estimates how much that is, taking into account things like where you live, what benefits you have, how you get paid and of course, how much you actually see on your paycheck!
Just enter the indicated data into the table below, click the "Calculate" button, and we'll run the numbers....
And that's just for the private sector! Compared to the private sector, people who work for the government will frequently earn equivalent or higher salaries, but will be provided with benefits that far exceed the value of those available in the private sector.
Of course, the economics between work done in the private sector and the public sector are different. The value of the work that employees in the private sector perform must exceed the value of their compensation in order to justify their continued presence on their employer's payroll, generating a combination of revenue or cost savings for their employer. Otherwise, an employer cannot justify keeping the employee on their payroll.
The government however can either raise taxes, arbitrarily increasing its revenue, or can borrow money to pay for its excessively generous compensation packages that no-one in the private sector can hope to receive.
Unless they really earn it, that is!
