Remote EOR Pricing in 2026: $599 vs $699, Annual Cost and Extra Fees

Remote's EOR pricing looks simple at first glance, but the number you actually pay depends on one decision: monthly or annual billing.

The standard rate is $699 per employee per month, billed monthly. Pay annually instead, and the advertised rate drops to $599 per employee per month — about 14% less than the monthly rate.

So the real question isn't "$599 or $699?" It's whether monthly flexibility is worth $1,200 a year per employee to you.

Remote EOR Pricing at a Glance

Monthly billing — $699/month

1 employee/year: $8,388 5 employees/year: $41,940

Annual billing — $599/month

1 employee/year: $7,188 5 employees/year: $35,940

The gap is $100 per employee per month, or $1,200 per year.

Scale that to five employees and you're looking at $6,000 a year.

These figures cover Remote's published EOR management fee only. They do not include salary, employer taxes, statutory contributions, benefits, or currency-related costs.

Why Remote Shows Two Different Prices

$699 is Remote's standard pay-as-you-go rate, billed monthly based on active usage.

$599 is the advertised rate when paid annually.

Neither number is necessarily the final commercial rate for every customer. Remote notes that some customers may have different terms through a separate Order Form, which can include committed periods, discounts, or custom contract dates.

So the published price is useful for comparison, but it should be treated as a starting point rather than a guaranteed final quote.

What's Actually Included

Remote's EOR service includes:

Country-specific onboarding Local payroll Compliance support Localized benefits Dedicated in-house support HR Essentials

The $599 or $699 management fee is not the employee's total cost of employment.

Salary, employer taxes, statutory contributions, benefits, and other local employment costs are separate from the management fee.

The Currency Catch

If an invoice needs converting into a different billing currency, Remote applies its own FX rate.

That rate can vary depending on the currency pair and when the conversion happens.

There's also a separate fee for non-local currency salary arrangements: $50 per employee per month, but only when a company specifically requests it for an eligible employee in a supported country.

It's not automatic, so don't assume every hire carries this cost.

Reserve Payments, Explained

Remote says reserve payments are collected in rare, high-risk circumstances — not on every hire.

The reserve exists to make sure funds are available to cover statutory severance and, in some cases, additional non-statutory entitlements if an employee's contract ends.

Common triggers include extended notice periods, additional severance guarantees beyond the legal minimum, recognition of an employee's prior seniority, and non-compete clauses that require compensation.

Reserve payments only apply to Employer of Record (EOR) employees and Contractor of Record (COR) contractors. They don't apply to Global Payroll or standard Contractor Management users.

The reserve is separate from the monthly EOR management fee.

Once employment ends and any termination-related costs are settled, Remote generally credits or refunds the remaining reserve balance.

If onboarding never completes, remaining reserve funds may also be credited or refunded, subject to any outstanding account balances.

If you're comparing quotes across providers, ask directly whether a reserve applies to your specific arrangement.

Is $599 the Real Price?

Yes, but only in the context of Remote's advertised annual pricing.

The standard month-to-month rate is $699 per employee per month.

A comparison that simply says "Remote costs $599" without explaining the billing structure can be misleading for anyone planning to pay monthly.

Is Remote Expensive?

That depends on what you're comparing it to.

At $699 per month, Remote sits above some lower-cost EOR providers.

At $599 per month on annual pricing, it becomes much more competitive with other major platforms.

But the management fee alone isn't the full picture.

The number that actually matters is the total quote for the same employee, same country, same salary and benefits, and the same billing structure.
