        The true cost of hiring for employers

        Hiring goes far beyond paying a salary. Employers also cover mandatory contributions, taxes, and benefits that vary by country, often adding 15–50% or more to total costs.

        Typical employer costs include:

        Gross salary: Base pay before taxes or deductions.

        Social contributions: Employer payments for pension, healthcare, unemployment, or social security.

        Payroll taxes: Employer-required taxes based on gross pay.

        Employee benefits: Health insurance, leave, bonuses, and other perks.

        Compliance and administration: Costs for HR, payroll, and legal requirements.

        Managing all of this by yourself across multiple countries makes things complex.
        That is where an Employer of Record (EOR) helps simplify it.
