EOR Pricing & Costs: FAQs
Common questions on how Employer of Record providers price their services and what actually drives the total cost.
How much does an EOR typically cost per employee per month?
Published EOR pricing generally starts around $599/employee/month for standard service, rising to $899/employee/month for enterprise-tier support (Deel, 2026). This is a flat management fee on top of the employee's actual salary and statutory employer costs, which are passed through separately and vary by country.
Does the monthly EOR fee include the employee salary and statutory costs?
No. The EOR management fee ($599-$899/employee/month at published Deel rates) covers the service itself - onboarding, compliance, payroll processing, and support. The employee's gross salary, employer statutory contributions (like Provident Fund, Social Security, or equivalent), and any benefits are separate costs paid on top, and vary significantly by country.
Why do some EOR providers not publish their pricing?
Some providers require a mandatory core HR platform subscription before they'll quote an EOR rate at all, rather than publishing a flat per-employee fee up front. This makes early-stage cost comparison harder, since you can't get a real number without engaging their sales process.
When does it make more financial sense to set up my own entity instead of using an EOR?
The breakeven point depends on country and headcount, but generally, EOR is close to always cheaper below roughly a dozen employees in a single country, since entity setup costs (legal, incorporation, registrations) and ongoing in-house payroll/compliance overhead are fixed costs an EOR lets you avoid entirely. Above that headcount, it's worth modeling both options directly.
