A rough estimate is that the cost of an employee is 1.25x - 1.4x the salary of an employee in the US. With health insurance, Social Security taxes, 401K matching, office expenses, and more.

That seems exceedingly low. I've generally seen 2x. It's a bit less than that as salary goes up, but I can't imagine hitting 1.25x.
