What an employee really costs
Start from the take-home pay you want to give and see what it costs you, with all contributions. The same rates Fivanto uses for real payslips. No account needed.
Your input
The maximum voucher value is capped by law and updated periodically — enter the value you actually use.
The personal deduction lowers the income tax, so it lowers the gross needed for the same net — and with it your cost. Without these fields the cost came out too high for anyone with dependents, children in school, or under 26.

Salary or vouchers? Same amount received, different cost
For the person to receive — lei in total, two ways. Compared fairly: the same amount reaching them, not the same gross.
Salary only
gross — lei
Salary + vouchers
gross — lei
Enter a number of vouchers above to see the comparison.
What the employer actually pays
The only contribution added on top of gross pay is CAM — the work insurance contribution, 2.25%. CAS 25%, CASS 10% and the 10% income tax are withheld from the employee's gross, not added to it — though the employer still remits them.
Why vouchers cost less
Meal vouchers carry no CAS (25%) and no CAM (2.25%) — only CASS 10% and income tax 10%, withheld from salary. Computed on the engine above: for the person to receive 5,840 lei in total, salary alone costs 10,208 lei, while salary plus 21 vouchers of 40 lei costs 9,858 lei — 350 lei a month, per person.
Where the numbers come from
The same rates and the same code Fivanto uses to produce real payslips. Rates are configured per period, and the label under the result tells you which set was applied.
More than one employee?
Fivanto keeps each person's timesheets, leave, contract and certificates in one place, and your company's tax obligations come out of what is already inside. Every module has a free tier.
