There's an extra tax paid by the employer, technically "employer's National Insurance contributions", which is about 10% (up to a limit). So that's comparable to US payroll taxes.
Because the National Health Service is generally considered to offer a decent-enough level of care, there's normally no private health insurance in most tech jobs -- so no extra costs there.

- taurath 10y agoAdd 30% of salary for each employee in the US to get "total compensation" which means health/dental/life/vision/retirement benefits.
- Swannie 10y agoOdd. Admittedly my sample size is low (2), but some level of private health insurance was offered at all the places I've worked in the UK.
