What does it really cost to hire abroad?

Model the all-in cost of an international hire four ways — Employer of Record, managed remote team, independent contractor, or your own legal entity. Pick a country, set the salary and headcount, and see which path wins and where the break-even sits.

Choose a hiring country

No country is preselected. Pick the market to compare Employer of Record, managed remote team, contractor and your own entity.

Salary benchmark — compare roles across markets

Compare gross salaries and employer costs for the same role across Africa, France, and the rest of Europe. Filter by job family, seniority, country, or region — then sort to spot the most cost-effective hiring locations.

Indicative 2026 market estimates in EUR. France is the baseline; savings reflect lower employer cost (salary + statutory burden) vs. the same role in France. Use “Apply” to load a row into your scenario above.

Hiring across Africa — country HR playbook

Africa is one of the fastest-growing EOR regions, but employment rules swing wildly between markets — from South Africa's 1–3% statutory burden to Algeria's 26%, and from Nigeria's “no statutory severance” to Mauritius' three-months-per-year payout. Click any country to expand its full HR profile — tax, compensation, contracts, severance, benefits and more — then load it into the calculator above.

All-in cost = gross salary + statutory employer burden (auto-applied per country) + the EOR fee or entity overhead. Managed Remote / BPO bundles everything into one blended seat rate, modelled as the loaded cost (salary + burden) plus a provider margin you set (default 30%). Contractor cost excludes burden and fees but carries misclassification exposure. Entity year-one includes one-time setup; the 5-year chart amortizes setup across the period. Employer-burden rates, entity setup/ongoing costs, and EOR fee tiers are drawn from public 2026 EOR cost analyses and each country's labour/revenue authority. Figures are planning estimates, not a quote. Mandatory 13th/14th-month salary markets are flagged but salary is entered as a single annual figure.
