The Peorient India EOR Price Index tracks the published monthly fee of 12 Employers of Record and prices the same three hires with each. Fees range from $99 to $699 per employee a month, and the fee is the only line that changes between providers.
The table lists each provider’s published EOR fee for India as it appeared on the provider’s own pricing or India page on 2 November 2026. A fee shown as “from” is an entry point: your quote can be higher for senior salaries, extra benefits or a short contract. Prices are in US dollars per employee per month and exclude salary and statutory costs.

To compare like for like, we priced the same three hires with every provider: 8 LPA, a typical junior salary; 18 LPA, a mid-level engineer or manager; and 35 LPA, a senior specialist. The employment cost is identical across providers, so the differences come only from the fee. Before any fee, the hires cost ₹8.74 lakh ($9,220), ₹19.03 lakh ($20,073) and ₹36.52 lakh ($38,523) a year.

Seven of the 12 say they employ staff in India through a company they own: Remunance, Wisemonk, Payoneer Workforce Management, Multiplier, Rippling, Deel and Remote. RemoFirst says it partners with local employers instead of running its own entities. Papaya Global’s India page mentions a local partner, and Pebl, G-P and Oyster do not say publicly which company employs staff in India.
An owned entity is not a guarantee of better service, and a partner model is not a reason to rule a provider out. What matters is that you know who the legal employer is. Ask for the employing entity’s name, a sample employment agreement and the payroll funding dates before you sign. Our India employer compliance hub explains what that employer must handle.
Fees. We took each provider’s published EOR fee for India from its own pricing or India page on 2 November 2026 and recorded the billing basis it states. Where a provider publishes a range, we used the entry price, except Remunance, whose fee is set by salary band: $99, $149 and $199 for the three hires. We did not use quotes, sales calls or third-party listings.
Employment cost. All three hires use Peorient’s India cost model, the same one behind our hiring cost calculator:
What the index leaves out. Security deposits, onboarding and exit fees, optional benefits, equipment, recruitment and currency margins vary by provider and by contract, so they are not included. Treat the index as a fair starting comparison, not a quote.
Updates. We recheck every fee each quarter and record changes in the CSV. The next update is due in February 2027.

Published fees for India range from $99 to $699 per employee a month in November 2026, with a median of $479 across 12 providers. Salary, employer PF, gratuity and benefits come on top, so an 18 LPA hire costs ₹20.16 lakh to ₹26.98 lakh a year all-in.
Remunance and Wisemonk publish the lowest entry fee, $99 a month. Remunance moves to $149 and $199 for higher salary bands, and is 10% cheaper for 12 months through Peorient. Ask both for a quote at your exact salary. (Disclosure: Peorient is affiliated with Remunance and may earn a referral fee.)
Platforms such as Deel, Remote and G-P price one product across many countries and include multi-country tooling, integrations and support in the fee. If you only hire in India, an India specialist usually costs less. If you hire in several countries, one platform can save administration time.
No. The fee pays for the provider's service. Salary, employer PF, ESIC where it applies, gratuity and benefits are funded by you on top. The India hiring cost calculator adds them up for any salary.
