@almaap93-gmail-c  Depends on what the employees' payrates are set at.

 

Putting aside the actual gross wages, employers will typically match their employees' social security and medicare tax withholdings. These amount, respectively, to 6.2% and 1.45% of each employee's gross wages, with social security eventually reaching a cap for the year.

 

In addition to this, employers will typically also pay both state and federal unemployment on their employees.

 

The state unemployment tax % varies by state, industry, and company history, but has a certain annual cap.

 

The federal unemployment % is 0.06%, charged on the first $7,000.00 gross wages of the year for each employee for an annual maximum of $42.00 federal unemployment tax per employee.

 

There are other benefits employees can get, but honestly, your question is much too open-ended to give a comprehensive answer.
