Values shown without a label are quoted from the provider's own published pages. "Not publicly disclosed" means we could not find a provider-published figure in the sources reviewed, and any figure labelled an EOR Lens modelling assumption is our own comparison figure rather than a provider fact. Confirm both in your quote. Last verified 2026-09-04.

- Customer may fund in a supported currency, as documented by the provider
- Tax treatment of fees
- Fees are exclusive of taxes other than Deel's income taxes, and the agreement refers to a local review that may evaluate VAT or GST applicable to the customer.

What a hire costs through Deel
Deel has verified EOR coverage in United Kingdom, but no precise country-resolved fee. Its published headline price is informational only, so it is excluded from this cost ranking.
Uses the same calculation engine as the main calculator: converted base salary, United Kingdom statutory employer costs, the provider fee, and amortised one-time fees. Provider-specific currency-conversion cost is excluded rather than estimated, and stated separately in this provider’s fees and terms; conditional charges are excluded too.
Where Deel operates
Deel publishes hiring coverage in 115 countries across 4 regions. Countries not listed here are not published as supported; confirm directly with the provider.
Source: Deel's own country pages (checked 2026-09-05).
Linked countries have a full employer cost breakdown on EOR Lens; the rest are published by the provider but not yet modelled here.
Deel contractor pricing
Engaging someone as a contractor rather than employing them through an EOR is a different product with different pricing and different risk. This is what Deel publishes for contractors.
- Hire contractors
- $49 per contractor per month
- Contractor of Record
- $325 per contractor per month
Source: $49 per contractor per month
www.deel.com, checked 2026-09-05.
Contractor fees exclude currency conversion and payment costs, which are charged separately by most providers. Misclassifying an employee as a contractor carries back-tax and penalty risk that dwarfs the monthly fee. Compare every published contractor price on the contractor pricing page.
Deel vs alternatives
Figures without a label are published by the provider. Anything marked an EOR Lens assumption is our own comparison figure, not a provider statement. "Not publicly disclosed" means the provider does not state it publicly, which is not the same as the answer being unfavourable.

- Negotiable on FX at scale
Where Deel is weaker
- Currency-conversion margin not published
Pricing transparency: what Deel publishes
Deel publishes 1 of 8 facts we check on every provider. Each published fact below carries a quote, a source link and the date we checked it.
FX markup
Not publicly disclosed; confirm with providerNo FX margin published. EOR Lens no longer models a currency-conversion percentage, so conversion cost is excluded from the totals shown.
Security deposit / pre-funding
Not publicly disclosed; confirm with providerSetup fee
Not publicly disclosed; confirm with providerOffboarding fee
Not publicly disclosed; confirm with providerNot published either way. The documented severance accrual is a statutory cost collected in advance and trued up on the final invoice, not a Deel charge, and the thirty days' notice is a process requirement rather than a fee. No page states that no offboarding fee is charged.
Minimum headcount
Not publicly disclosed; confirm with providerMinimum contract term
Not publicly disclosed; confirm with providerNot published. The only term figure located is a 2025 promotional offer conditioned on signing an order form with a one-year commitment, which is campaign-specific and not a general policy. The thirty days' notice in the help centre governs offboarding an employee, not exiting the customer contract.
Support response commitment
Not publicly disclosed; confirm with providerFAQ
Deel publishes From $599/employee/month. The verified monthly cost also includes the employee's gross salary, statutory employer costs in the hire country and any amortised one-time fees. Currency-conversion cost is excluded, since it is not comparably published across the providers we track. Use the cost checker on this page for a specific country and salary.
Deel publishes EOR coverage in 115 markets, listed in full on this page. Countries outside that list are not published as supported.
Not on headline price alone. Papaya Global ($499) publish lower per-employee fees. Ranking on total cost depends on the hire country and salary, which the cost checker above calculates.
Deel does not publish a currency conversion margin. Our comparison therefore excludes any currency-conversion cost rather than assuming one, so the totals we show are verified costs before FX. This is not published by the provider, so confirm it in writing before you sign.
Deel does not publish a deposit or pre-funding policy. Our model assumes one month of total employment cost is held up front, which is an EOR Lens estimate. This is not published by the provider, so confirm it in writing before you sign.
Deel uses a mix of owned entities and local partners, which varies by country.
Deel does not publish an immigration or visa support offering. This is not published by the provider, so confirm it in writing before you sign.
Yes. Deel lists contractor management at $49/contractor/month.
Rippling EOR, Oyster, Remote, Papaya Global are the closest alternatives on published pricing and coverage. Which one is cheapest depends entirely on the hire country, so run the same salary through the calculator to see.
