I just checked with my son. Currently, his company (my old company)
's health care costs are 16-18 percent of monthly payroll, not
counting dental plan insurance payments.

I worded that wrong. The monthly health care cost (not including
dental) makes up 16-18 percent of the monthly payroll.

At the large insurance company where I was a consultant, fringe benefits
and employer's share of SS were figured to add 40-50% to employee cost.
That included a very generous retirement plan.

Sounds like a familiar number.

That is a bit light by the time you throw in all the state and fed
mandated crap.






Sounds about right. When I owned a small company in the 1980 time frame, we
figured 24% for FUTA, Workman's comp, etc. This did not include medical
insurance.
