What does it really cost to hire in NZ, Australia, the Philippines and India?

EOR Pacific is an independent EOR cost index for Asia-Pacific. We track statutory employer on-costs and employer-of-record (EOR) prices, link every figure to its official source and date-stamp every check.

We are not an employer of record. We don't employ anyone, and rankings can't be bought.
