What does a UK EOR hire cost?
For a cross-currency employee earning USD 75,000 a year, compare the monthly management fee with our estimated provider fee. The estimate adds USD 125 for FX and USD 62.50 for other costs to each provider’s management fee, except Teamed, whose estimated fee equals its management fee. These allowances are budgeting assumptions, not verified supplier charges; salary and employer contributions are separate.

The USD 75,000 salary assumption
Annual gross salary of USD 75,000 divided by 12 gives a monthly salary base of USD 6,250. Our 2% FX allowance is USD 125 a month; our 1% other-cost allowance is USD 62.50. Combined allowance: USD 187.50. Add it once to the monthly management fee for providers other than Teamed. Teamed’s added allowance is zero. The salary base excludes employer contributions and benefits; this is a provider-fee estimate, not a calculation of total UK employment cost.
What cash is needed before the first payday?
Request two schedules: recurring and one-off expenses, and cash funding. A refundable security deposit may be held after the worker leaves; prefunding pays upcoming employment costs and should not be counted a second time as an extra fee. Ask for refund triggers, settlement dates and currency terms. The verified provider distinctions below are advertised conditions, not negotiated offers.
Teamed currently advertises zero FX markup, no setup or exit fee, monthly terms, a refundable one-month gross-salary deposit and first-month employment-cost prefunding.
Scope and conditions: Advertised provider-wide terms, not an inspected agreement. Lawful notice and employment liabilities remain separate from the advertised absence of an exit fee. Deposit and prefunding are separate cash requirements. Deposit refund timing and any review of the deposit during a long engagement are unverified.

Global provider policy · provider statement · Verified 2026-10-11 · Multiplier plans and pricingWho handles PAYE and pension costs?
Budget separately for salary, statutory employer contributions, pension and benefits. The fee estimate does not calculate UK statutory contributions or assume a USD-to-payroll-currency exchange rate. The 2% FX allowance is an assumed provider cost, not an exchange rate. Employee deductions come out of gross salary and should not be counted again as employer contributions.
Why is there no cheapest-provider winner?
The management fees use monthly billing: Teamed from USD 599, Remote USD 699, Deel from USD 599, Oyster USD 699 and Multiplier Core from USD 499. Under this scenario, estimated fees are respectively from USD 599, USD 886.50, from USD 786.50, USD 886.50 and from USD 686.50. Country scope, contractual commitments and extra services can change a quote. The 1% other-cost allowance is a reserve for possible charges, including onboarding, offboarding and termination administration, not a verified monthly charge. Do not add itemised supplier charges to the allowance without checking for overlap.
