I'm not sure I understand your question. If you're asking what the
total cost to an employer is, including wages and taxes, that will
depend upon where you are located. Some factors, such as unemployment
tax, will vary from company to company, depending upon the company's
past history of discharging employees.

I am looking for some examples and averages.
Something similar to this link:

if you are asking what 50k is, i believe it is $50,000.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics website has some information you
might find helpful.

EMPLOYER COSTS FOR EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

If you use microsoft excel then do the following:
In the A1 cell type 50000, in the B1 cell type 15 & then in the C1
cell type =B1*A1/100+A1
then you can change the value in A1 & get your cost without changing
the other cells.
I beleive this is what you were looking for...
