Rate Benchmarking

The cost of Implementing employee benefits is significantly lower in India than in other developed countries like the US. This is due to a number of factors, including the lower cost of healthcare, the lower cost of life insurance, and the lower salaries in India.In the US, the average annual cost of employer-sponsored health insurance premiums per employee was USD 22,463 for family coverage and USD 7,911 for single coverage whereas in India, the average premium for family coverage was USD 334.54, while the average premium for personal coverage was USD 114.44.

In general, a higher minimum wage can lead to employers reducing or eliminating non-wage compensation, such as health insurance, paid time off, and retirement savings plans. This is because employers have a limited amount of money to spend on employee compensation, and they may choose to focus on wages if the minimum wage increases. For example, minimum wage in the U.S. is USD 7.25 compared to USD 2.15 in India. However, there are no mandatory paid leaves offered by employees in the US whereas employees in India get about 35 paid leaves in a year.
