Funding & Finance
Model the full employer cost of a pay rise — base pay, employer NI and NHS pension — for up to 5 staff members at once. Free, no login needed.
Staff Inputs
Add up to 5 staff members. Enter each current hourly rate, contracted weekly hours, and the pay-rise method you want to model.
How Payroll Forecasting is Calculated
Each row starts with the current hourly rate and contracted weekly hours. The tool then applies your selected pay-rise method, recalculates annual salary cost, and layers employer on-costs on top so you can compare current and proposed totals like-for-like.
Pay-rise method
Choose whether to match the NLW uplift, bring pay up to NLW, apply a custom percentage, set a known new hourly rate, or hold pay flat.
Employer NI
Employer National Insurance is applied using the current PracticeConnect rates and thresholds, so the forecast reflects payroll on-costs rather than headline pay alone.
NHS pension
Where you tick NHS pension, the forecast adds the employer pension contribution so you can see the fuller cost impact for staff who are in the scheme.
The public version is designed for fast scenario planning and supports up to 5 staff in one run.
PracticeConnect adds saveable scenarios, richer workforce planning, and broader operational context so you can move from a quick estimate to a reusable planning workflow.
