Employee cost calculator

Remote’s employee cost calculator helps hiring managers gain clarity on the total cost of employment (TCE) for staff across different countries worldwide. The total cost of employment shown in this free, easy-to-use calculator is the employee’s salary plus all mandatory contributions for government programs. These contributions are taxes like healthcare, retirement, unemployment, and other programs, which vary by country. When you hire an employee with Remote, these taxes will automatically be applied during payroll. To use our employee cost calculator, simply enter the employee’s location, title, and salary. We will then estimate the cost to hire in that country based on the salary provided. You may compare hiring costs across multiple countries and download the results as a convenient PDF to share with stakeholders. It is an ideal resource for planning and budgeting new hires to support your global expansion. We also have an expanded version of the employee cost calculator located in our product dashboard, which includes a specific breakdown of all contributions as well as the estimated cost of supplemental benefits that are expected in that country. You can access our expanded cost calculator by signing up with Remote today. It’s free to get started with no commitment required.

With this publicly available, free to use employee cost calculator, you can estimate the cost to hire someone based on the social contributions mandated in their country of residence. This includes taxes for government programs such as healthcare, retirement, unemployment, and more. When you hire with Remote as your employer of record (EOR), these costs are automatically applied during payroll.

Our publicly available calculator does not display a detailed split of social contributions (for example, 8% for healthcare, 5% for social security) — instead it presents the total cost to hire as a single consolidated line item, inclusive of all programs.

For a detailed breakdown and further information on these programs, consider signing up with Remote and using the expanded version of our employee cost calculator, located within our product dashboard.

Our expanded employee cost calculator also provides estimates for the cost of supplemental benefits that employees might expect to receive in their local market. Remote offers competitive local benefits plans at low costs in most countries we hire in, which helps provide your global team members with the support they need to thrive. Offering strong local benefits also aids in attracting and retaining top talent worldwide.

Remote supports employment in countries around the world with our employer of record (EOR) services. The countries shown in the dropdown represent where we currently provide support. If you don’t see the country you’re looking for, please don’t worry – we are continually expanding our coverage and improving our tools to help customers hire everywhere! Check out our Country Explorer for more detailed information.

Employees will also be required to pay a portion of taxes, depending on local rules. These amounts are automatically deducted from their salary during payroll. Currently, neither our publicly available employee cost calculator nor the expanded calculator shows the taxes that the employee is personally responsible for, but our in-house hiring specialists are available to advise customers and their employees about these obligations.

In today’s global economy, expanding your hiring beyond the local market is essential for businesses.

Hiring across borders enables employers to scale more rapidly. You need not wait for the ideal candidate locally when highly skilled professionals are available worldwide. In a competitive hiring landscape, organizations open to global talent gain a significant advantage over more insular competitors.

Bringing team members from different countries introduces fresh perspectives that can help you build better products and reach customers in new markets. Diverse and inclusive workforces are also known to be more productive.

Hiring remote team members can also be more cost effective. Remote, global teams don’t require expensive office space, and your company gains broader coverage across multiple time zones to improve customer support response and accelerate product delivery.
