How much does global payroll cost?

Global payroll is usually priced per employee per month, commonly in the ~$20–$50 range depending on country and volume, on top of the salaries and statutory costs you already pay through your entity. It is cheaper than EOR because there is no employer entity to provide. The table below shows real, sourced starting prices per provider.

What is the difference between global payroll and an EOR?

Global payroll processes pay for employees you **already employ** through your own local entities. An EOR is the legal employer in countries where you have **no** entity. Use global payroll to consolidate and run payroll across markets you're established in; use an EOR to hire where you aren't.

What does a global payroll provider handle?

A global payroll provider calculates gross-to-net pay, withholds and remits income tax and social contributions, produces payslips and statutory filings, and gives you consolidated multi-country reporting — while you remain the legal employer through your own entities.

Global Payroll Pricing: What International Payroll Costs

Global payroll runs compliant payroll for your employees in countries where you already have your own legal entity — consolidating tax withholding, social contributions, and reporting across markets into one provider and one view. It is distinct from an Employer of Record: an EOR *employs* people where you have no entity, whereas global payroll pays people you already employ through your own entities.
