Where these numbers come from

  • Statutory rates Follow the four Labour Codes in force since 21 November 2025, with central rules notified 8 May 2026: EPF at 12% of basic + DA, ESI at 3.25% of gross below ₹21,000 a month, EDLI at 0.5% on the ₹15,000 ceiling, gratuity accruing at about 4.81% of basic, and statutory bonus at 8.33% on a ₹7,000 base. Basic + DA must be at least 50% of total remuneration under the Code on Wages 2019.
  • Insurance premiums Midpoints of published market ranges, not quotes: group health at ₹3,000–15,000 per employee per year depending on sum insured and dependants, with ₹5 lakh the most common base tier; group personal accident at ₹100–500 for ₹10 lakh of cover; group term life at roughly 0.1% of sum assured. Your actual renewal depends on claims experience, age mix and group size. Wellness and check-up figures are directional estimates and should be replaced with your own quotes.
  • The benchmark score A weighted composite designed by Wisemonk, not a survey result. It is anchored where published data exists — group health adoption among larger Indian employers, the most common sum insured tier, and the share of employers offering any mental-health cover — and uses judgement where it does not. Treat the band, not the exact number.
  • Currency Converts at ₹95.7 to the dollar. Benefits are incurred in rupees; if you budget in dollars, the rate moves your reported cost independently of anything you decide here.
