Questions about the tools

Which tool should I use?

Use the EOR cost calculator to add up the figures in an EOR quote. Use the global payroll calculator to estimate employer cost and take-home pay for a country before you have a quote. Use the employee misclassification calculator to find the working arrangements and evidence gaps that need a classification review.

Are the results a provider quote?

No. The calculators give estimates. Confirm the salary, employer charges, benefits, service fees and assumptions with your provider before making a hiring decision.

What should I budget for separately?

Review setup, immigration, equipment, currency conversion and termination costs separately. Deposits and payroll pre-funding also affect the cash you need upfront. Check these items in your provider’s quote.

Which currency should I use?

Enter every amount in the EOR cost calculator in USD. In the global payroll calculator, use the currency shown beside each input and result.
