Pricing models explained
- Per employee per month. A flat monthly service fee for each employee, on top of salary, employer taxes and benefits. Deel, Remote, Oyster, Multiplier and Velocity Global publish this kind of starting price.
- Percentage of salary. A fee set as a share of gross pay. The cost rises with seniority and pay raises, so ask how the fee is calculated.
- Tiered by volume. Lower fees for more employees or longer commitments, such as annual billing. Compare the monthly and annual prices.
- One time plus monthly. A setup or onboarding fee plus the monthly fee. Remote, for example, states no setup or onboarding fees for its EOR, so ask each provider.
