Free advisor tool

Add an employer-cost calculator to your payroll or accounting website

Give clients and hiring teams a fast US employer-cost estimate without sending salary data to a server. The widget uses Shadow DOM, so its design stays isolated from your website’s CSS.

Two bounded delivery options

Choose standard self-service or a personalized package

Personalized package

Add your brand with bounded implementation help

For one approved US domain and one compatible page: one supplied PNG logo, one HEX color, one heading, installation guide, and desktop/mobile verification.

Request the US$99 fit check

Proposed one-time price. Inquiry only—no payment, contract, or license.

Proposed EmployerCost offers — paid checkout is not open: US$29 is a standard self-service package; US$99 starts with a compatibility check before any private payment. No payroll-provider affiliate or referral link is active.

Preview the standard calculator

This public three-line embed previews the calculator included in the US$29 self-service delivery. A paid package is self-contained, domain-licensed, privately delivered with hashes and installed by the buyer.

<script src="https://employercost.com/assets/states-data.js"></script>
<div data-employercost-widget data-state="TX" data-salary="85000"></div>
<script src="https://employercost.com/assets/widget.js" defer></script>

Optional settings

  • data-state="CA" sets the initial state using its two-letter code.
  • data-salary="120000" sets the initial annual salary.
  • data-title="Plan your first hire" replaces the widget heading.

Every estimate uses office/professional workers compensation, 18% employer benefits, basic payroll administration, and the sourced 2026 new-employer SUTA model. Employer-assigned notices still control exact unemployment tax.

Privacy and attribution

The widget makes no API request and does not transmit the visitor’s inputs. The US$29 standard package keeps the visible “Estimate by EmployerCost” attribution link intact.

General planning estimate only. Not payroll, tax, legal, insurance, accounting, or HR compliance advice.

Proposed access and correction conditions, pending activation. A paid package is delivered through a private order-bound download available for 30 days; downloaded files and that version’s license do not expire when the link closes. Report a missing/corrupt file, wrong domain/license, hash mismatch, or reproducible in-scope defect within 7 calendar days. This does not add installation help or customization to US$29.

Refund conditions. The full text is in the Terms of sale. Subject to mandatory rights, the proposed full-refund cases are a duplicate charge, inability to provide an intact order-matching download, or a validated in-scope defect for which no functional replacement can be provided. A full refund revokes further downloads and the license. Change of mind after download, disclosed incompatibility, missing technical permissions, incorrect installation, customization expectations, or business results are not promised refund grounds.

Test a sourced state before you embed

Review the underlying unemployment-tax assumptions for the states already sending visitors into this tool, or compare the same hire across locations.

Basic branded installation · proposed price

One basic branded installation for US$99

US$99 one time, one approved US domain and one compatible page, no subscription. The basic pilot includes one supplied PNG logo, one HEX color, one heading, an attribution-free static bundle, an installation guide, one pre-launch desktop/mobile verification, and one visual revision before launch.

Installation assistance is capped at 30 minutes and the visual revision at 15 minutes. Extra pages, managed deployment or credentials, CMS/theme/plugin conflicts, hosting, analytics, lead capture, CRM, custom calculations or rates, advisory work, later rebranding, support after acceptance, and future-year data updates are excluded.

The current calculator uses the source-backed 2026 planning dataset and stays network-free on the visitor’s device. Open the fictional Pine & Ledger installation to inspect the basic package. Pine & Ledger Advisors is a made-up brand, not a customer.
