Benefits costs add up quite significantly, not just the pay. Pay is made up of base pay + bonus + stock. The stock based comp is weird accounting tricks too where you dilute existing shareholders to pay employees. The direct cost to company there is buy backs but I don't think total buybacks == dilution through SBC. So you have to take into account just the base pay + benefits.
