Hidden costs in Spain

  • Convenios colectivos (sector-level collective bargaining agreements) set minimum salaries and benefits per industry, often higher than the statutory minimum wage (SMI €1,184/mo in 2024). Your EOR must apply the correct convenio.
  • Temporary contract reform (2022) drastically limited fixed-term contracts. Most hires must be permanent (indefinido) from day 1, increasing severance exposure.
  • Plan de igualdad (equality plan) is mandatory for companies with 50+ employees. The EOR is the legal employer but doesn't aggregate across clients, generally not a problem.
  • Two pagas extraordinarias trip up foreign employers. A €60K/year salary is €60K/14 = €4,286/mo gross, NOT €5,000/mo. Confirm whether 'salary' in offers is annual gross divided by 12 or 14.

Platform fee is under 5% of employment cost, differences between providers are noise. Pick on entity ownership, audit posture, and country-specific expertise instead.

Affiliate & ranking disclosure

We earn a commission when you sign up via the Deploy buttons. This does not change your price. Cards are ranked by lowest total monthly spend first. The "Top match" banner uses a separate heuristic that weighs entity ownership, regional specialisation and contract terms, not commission. Some affiliates (Deel) offer promotional discounts that are not applied to the fees shown. Provider metadata (FX spread, deposit, entity ownership) and tax brackets are sourced from public materials and operator interviews as of June 2026, confirm exact terms with each provider and your tax counsel before signing.
