What does hiring in the Philippines really cost?

Salaries are only the visible half. Build your planned team like an invoice — role by role — then see the full employer cost with SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, 13th month pay and benefits, and compare an Employer of Record against setting up your own local entity.

Figures are directional estimates based on typical Philippine statutory employer contribution rates (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, 13th month pay) and market benchmarks, and vary by salary level, contribution caps, industry and benefits design. This tool does not constitute tax, legal or financial advice — final quotes are confirmed after consultation.

Kaptan's service fee): ${fmt(r.savings)} — plus roughly 4 months of faster time-to-hire and zero paid-in capital locked up. Your proposal will confirm the full picture including Kaptan's fee.` : `At this team size, an entity may pay off on running costs before fees are even factored in: entity setup and compliance cost about ${fmt(-r.savings)} more in year 1 than employment costs alone via EOR.
