Employer of Record Cost Calculator

Between $99 and $699 per employee per month in the published prices of the providers in this calculator, read on 13 October 2026. $599 is the most common list price (Deel, Remote, G-P and Atlas HXM). Salary and the employer's statutory contributions come on top and are the same with every provider.

It depends on the country. In our nine Asian markets Second Talent's EOR starts at $129 per employee per month; in India, Wisemonk and Asanify start at $99. Among global platforms, RemoFirst and Skuad list the lowest starting price, $199. Check deposits too: Playroll's $399 comes with a deposit of one month's salary.

Because salary and employer contributions are set by the country, not the provider. Your employee earns the same gross pay and the local government collects the same social insurance, pension and health contributions whichever EOR you pick. The variable cost is what each provider charges to run the legal entity, payroll and compliance, which is why the calculator above compares fees only.

From $129 per employee per month in our core Asian markets (the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China), where we employ through our own entities with no upfront fees. Coverage across 20+ countries with multi-currency payroll starts at $249 per employee per month. See pricing for what each plan includes.

On 13 October 2026 their pricing pages listed: Deel $599 month to month, Remote from $599, G-P from $599, Atlas HXM from $599, Oyster $699, Borderless AI $579, Papaya Global from $499, Multiplier $459 billed annually ($499 monthly), and Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) $399. Rippling and Safeguard Global publish no EOR price and quote each deal.

Regional specialists run fewer entities and price for one region. In this comparison Wisemonk starts at $99 in India, Comply.ph at $150 in the Philippines, and Emerhub charges 10% of employment cost capped at $250 across Southeast Asia. The trade-off is reach: if you also hire in Europe or Latin America, a global platform keeps everyone on one contract.

A few providers charge a share of pay: Emerhub takes 10% of employment cost up to $250, and Reliance Consulting in Thailand takes 15% of salary with a THB 18,000 minimum. At 10%, a percentage fee costs more than a flat $599 once gross pay passes about $5,990 a month, and it rises with every raise. Ask for a monthly cap on any percentage quote.

Deposits and one-time fees. Playroll holds a refundable deposit of one month's salary per employee, Oyster takes a refundable deposit, and Asanify asks for one month of total cost. Out2China adds a $298 onboarding fee in China and Acclime bills onboarding separately. Borderless AI says it takes no deposit. Ask every provider for a sample first invoice before you sign.

All fees in the comparison are per employee, per month, the standard EOR billing unit. The calculator multiplies them by your headcount and engagement length. Some providers discount annual billing; Multiplier, for example, lists $459 billed annually against $499 billed monthly.

Rough rule: EOR wins for small teams, an entity wins at 10+ employees per country over 3+ years. A local entity costs $15k to $40k to set up plus $2.5k to $4k a month in accounting and compliance, which only pays off across a large enough team.
