Team Cost Builder

Add every hire you are planning, each with its own location, salary, currency and number of people, and see what the whole team costs an employer in one currency.

Employer cost only. These figures are what employing this team costs an employer, not what anyone takes home, and not a quote.

Statutory calculation based on the inputs shown. Your final employment or EOR cost may differ because of benefits, provider fees, FX, employer-specific charges and other circumstances. How to read these figures.

Context only. It does not change any cost, and it does not imply that an employer of record is required, or that an entity is available, anywhere on this page.

United States employer cost depends on the state. Select a state to compare it; a federal-only figure is not equivalent to a state result and is never substituted for one.

The Hiring Planner answers a different question: it takes one hire and asks where to employ them. This tool takes a team you have already decided on and adds it up. Deciding where a single role should sit? Use the Hiring Planner.

What the Team Cost Builder does

The Team Cost Builder models multiple planned hires across different countries and US states in one workforce scenario. Each hire is a row with its own location, annual base salary, salary currency and number of people.

Each row is calculated through the same canonical EOR Lens jurisdiction-cost engine used elsewhere on the site. Different salary currencies are converted into one display currency before team totals are aggregated, on a single exchange-rate snapshot shared by every row, so raw currencies are never added together.

The team total is statutory employer cost: base pay, mandatory additional pay, employer contributions and statutory employer funds. An unknown statutory cost is never treated as zero: it is named, kept out of the total, and the total is labelled a known subtotal instead of a complete team cost.

Provider charges are shown separately from statutory cost. The Team Cost Builder checks which employer-of-record providers have verified coverage for every location in the team, then shows a single-provider strategy, where one provider covers the whole team, alongside a multi-provider strategy that may use a different provider in each location. An unpublished provider-specific charge may cause a result to be shown as a verified subtotal rather than a guaranteed final invoice. The lowest verified multi-provider combination is a cost result, not a claim that the strategy is operationally best, and cost is one decision factor among many.

What it can answer

What several planned hires cost across several jurisdictions, in one currency.
Total base payroll and total statutory employer cost for the whole team.
How much of that cost sits in each location and each region.
Which providers have verified coverage for every location in the team.
The lowest verified single-provider cost for the team, where one exists.
The lowest verified combination of providers across locations.
Refundable deposit exposure, where a provider publishes one.

What it does not answer

Employee take-home pay, income tax or net salary.
Salary benchmarking or what a role should be paid.
Talent availability or immigration suitability.
Service quality, support scoring or procurement preference.
Private contract terms or unpublished charges a provider has not disclosed.
Which provider is universally best. EOR Lens does not publish that claim.

Worked example: a seven-person team in four locations

Germany: 2 hires, €85,000 base salary each
Poland: 3 hires, zł 240,000 base salary each
Singapore: 1 hire, S$140,000 base salary
New Jersey, United States: 1 hire, $130,000 base salary
Reported in USD

Germany · 2 hires · Known team employer-cost subtotal$237,377
New Jersey (United States) · 1 hire · Known team employer-cost subtotal$141,189
Poland · 3 hires · Complete team employer cost$239,458
Singapore · 1 hire · Known team employer-cost subtotal$123,899

This example team is 7 hires across 4 locations, reported in USD.
Known team employer-cost subtotal: $741,921 a year in statutory employer cost, before any provider charge.
All 7 of 7 hires from 4 input rows across 4 locations are included in this subtotal. Complete costs are available for 3 hires across 1 location. 3 hires across 2 locations need missing employer or employee inputs. 1 hire across 1 location has an unquantifiable statutory charge. The missing-input and unquantifiable-charge groups do not overlap. Germany omits U1 sick-pay apportionment (small employers) and Statutory accident insurance (Berufsgenossenschaft); resolving it requires the number of employees in the country and the employer's industry; New Jersey (United States) omits State paid leave: Temporary disability costs the employer 0.10% to 0.75% depending on experience, so there is no single rate. Family leave is employee-paid; Singapore omits Central Provident Fund, employer contribution on Ordinary Wages and Central Provident Fund, employer contribution on Additional Wages; resolving it requires the employee's age and the employee's residency status. This figure is a known subtotal, not the complete team cost.
7 providers have verified coverage for every placement in this team. That is a count of verified coverage, not a judgement about provider quality.
No full-team provider has complete verified pricing for every placement, so no lowest verified single-provider cost is stated. An unpublished charge is never treated as zero.
Figures are calculated on 2026-01-01 using the exchange-rate snapshot of 2026-08-28.

Definitions used on this page

International team cost: International team cost is the total annual employer cost of several planned hires in different countries or US states, converted into one display currency on a single exchange-rate snapshot. It is what the employer pays, not what employees take home.
Statutory employer cost: Statutory employer cost is base pay plus the mandatory additional pay, employer contributions and statutory employer funds the law of each location requires. It excludes provider service charges, which are shown separately.
Known subtotal: A known subtotal is a team total that omits a real employer cost which has no published figure. The missing cost is named rather than estimated, and it is never treated as zero, so the true total is higher than the subtotal shown.
Verified subtotal: A verified subtotal is a provider-inclusive figure that includes every provider charge EOR Lens has verified, while at least one charge that provider levies is not published. It is a defensible comparison figure, not a guaranteed final invoice.
Verified coverage: Verified coverage means canonical published evidence confirms a provider employs staff in that jurisdiction. Where evidence is absent, coverage is recorded as not confirmed, and not-confirmed coverage is never counted as available.
