Consider a foreign employee entitled to a net relocation allowance of 200,000 RUB. The company is responsible for covering all taxes and social contributions to ensure the employee receives this net amount.
- Calculate gross amount for PIT
Gross amount = Net amount / (1 — 0.13)
200,000 / 0.87 ≈ 229,885 RUB
- Include employer social contributions
- Pension Fund: 22%
- Medical insurance: 5.1%
- Social insurance: 2.9%
Total ≈ 30% (within the contribution base limit)
- Calculate total cost for employer
Employer contributions ≈ 30% of gross amount
Total cost = Gross amount x (1 + 0.30) = 229,885×1.3 ≈ 298,850 RUB
This means that to provide a net payment of 200,000 RUB, the company should plan total payroll expenses of approximately 298,850 RUB, including all taxes and contributions.
