Remote's EOR fees are $599 per employee per month (paid annually upfront) and $699 per employee per month (paid monthly).

These EOR fees are on top of the total cost of employment (TCE) for each employee you employ through our Employer of Record service, which is the total cost of social programs mandated by the local government. In many countries, there will also be costs associated with core benefits such as healthcare or collectively bargained agreements. Because Remote is able to benefit from large group plans, we are able to offer competitive rates on more comprehensive coverage for your employees. We do not add a markup on any benefits premiums or administration costs!

Because Remote is the employer of record, it’s important for us to offer the same core benefits to all employees in a country to ensure fair equity and non-discriminatory hiring practices, which protects your business and ours.

No - you can work with Remote to hire any number of employees or contractors, with no minimum requirements or fees.

Whether you're hiring employee number 1, or employee number 1000, we're here to help you scale.

Yes. Remote is more affordable than alternative solutions, including other employer of record services and managing your own entity.

Many countries require social security or other contributions and costs in proportion to the gross salary awarded to an employee. The TCE is the sum of these contributions and the gross salary of the employee. 

For example: in 🇵🇹 Portugal, every employer is required to pay an amount equivalent to 23.75% of the gross salary to social security, contribute the equivalent of 1% of gross salary to a mandatory compensation fund, provide labour accident insurance, bi-annual work medicine appointments, and 40 hours of training. These statutory requirements are included in the TCE for employees in Portugal.

Gross salary is the pre-tax amount that is awarded to the employee. Taxes include social security contributions and/or other mandatory payments according to local laws, and income tax, which varies both according to local laws and the employee's personal tax situation.

Net salary is the post-tax amount that the employee actually receives in their bank account. The rules for calculating the net salary also vary from country to country according to their legal framework.

When you choose to pay our management fee yearly, this is billed in your first invoice for that employee. In the event that this employee's contract is terminated before the year is over (e.g. they resign or are laid off), another employee can be placed in their seat for the remaining pre-paid months.

Remote Contractor Management is charged at $29 per contractor, per month. Payments made by card incur an additional 3% service charge. There are no additional fees for employing contractors.

Contractors may be charged 1-2% of their payment for currency conversions by our payment partner. There are no other fees to receive payments as a contractor through Remote.
