What is your current EOR actually costing you?
The headline fee is the part you can see. Enter your real numbers and this prices the whole thing — fees, FX spread on every payroll run, mandatory add-ons, locked-up deposits — against Wisemonk, and then subtracts what switching would cost you. Payback included.
Who are you with today?
How are you charged?
Per employee, before employer contributions. A mid-level Bengaluru engineer runs about $1,800.
You pay both providers while the old contract runs out.
Check your MSA. Many EOR contracts have none; some bill the remainder of the term.

What you actually pay, per employee, per month
Salary and statutory contributions are identical under any provider — they pass straight through. This is only the part you pay for the service, which is the only part a switch changes.

Where the saving comes from, per month
The honest ledger
Switching costs money before it saves any. Here is the whole of it.
- Notice period overlap
- Early-termination feefrom your current MSA
- Internal migration effort
- Cost to switch
Cumulative cost over 36 months
The Wisemonk line starts above zero because switching is priced in. Where the lines cross is your payback. Salaries are inflated 9% a year — which matters most if you are charged a percentage of them.

Worth checking on your invoice:
How the move actually runs
Four weeks, and nobody on your India team loses tenure, leave balance or gratuity accrual in the transfer.
Week 1
Validate on your own team
Wisemonk reprices your actual roster and issues a sample invoice. You check this calculator's numbers against a real quote before committing to anything.
Week 2
Contracts and employee comms
India-compliant employment agreements issued. Tenure, leave balance and benefits continuity are written into the transfer so nobody on the team loses ground.
Week 3
Statutory transfer
EPF transferred against the existing UAN, ESI and professional tax re-registered to the new employer, gratuity accrual carried forward.
Week 4
Parallel run, then cutover
One payroll cycle runs alongside the outgoing provider to catch discrepancies. Final invoice settled, deposit released, old contract closed.
- Rates come from each provider's own pricing page where they publish one, checked July 2026: Deel $599/employee/mo, Remote $599 annual or $699 monthly, Oyster $699, Multiplier from $400. Rippling and Papaya Global do not disclose EOR pricing, so those use third-party estimates and are flagged as estimates in the tool.
- Deposits and FX spreads are third-party figures in every case — no provider publishes them. Deel is reported at 1–1.5× monthly cost per employee, Multiplier and Oyster at roughly one month of gross salary, Remote at zero. Treat them as prompts to ask, not as quotes.
- Wisemonk starts from $99/employee/mo and is banded by salary. No percentage-of-salary component, so it does not compound at review cycles. Source: wisemonk.io/pricing.
- Volume discounts are not modelled. Deel is reported to negotiate to $350–$500 at 20+ heads and Remote to $450–$500. If you have negotiated, overwrite the fee field — the whole model keys off it.
- FX markup applies to the full INR pass-through (salary + statutory), not to the fee. Wisemonk charges no FX margin — payroll converts at mid-market — so that line is zero on our side.
- Migration effort at $150 per employee covers your HR and finance time, not a Wisemonk charge. There is no setup fee. Salary inflation is 9% a year, applied to the 36-month view.
- One thing this model cannot see: your notice terms and any minimum-term clause. Read your MSA before you plan a date — that is the variable that most often moves the payback.

Competitor rates are taken from each provider's own pricing page where one is published, checked July 2026. Rippling and Papaya Global do not disclose EOR pricing; those figures are third-party estimates and are flagged as estimates above. Deposit and FX figures are third-party in every case. None of it may match your negotiated agreement — every field is editable, and your invoice beats our defaults. Wisemonk pricing starts from $99 per employee per month. Wisemonk is an India-only EOR; if your team spans several countries, a multi-country provider may still be the right answer for the rest of it.
