Gross annual salary

One platform to onboard, manage, and pay teams in 150+ countries

Whether you need a new hire in a Brazil by next week, a corporate card for your team member in Cairo, USD payments for your contractor in Pakistan, or your Finance team in London to close the books without a spreadsheet in the middle — it just works.

Reliable payroll in markets others avoid

RemotePass processes payroll in markets including Egypt, Pakistan, KSA, Nigeria, and Indonesia, where most EOR providers route payments through intermediaries or simply decline to operate.

Employment and spend in one platform

Most platforms end at payroll. RemotePass includes corporate SpendCards for every team member — so you’re not managing employment on one system and expenses on another.

Support that responds when it matters

Your team in Cairo doesn’t stop working at 5pm London time. RemotePass offers 24/7 Arabic and English support rated 9.6/10 on G2.

RemotePass had a whole suite of offerings nobody else offered… plus you’re subject matter experts in countries where we don’t have expertise. It was a no-brainer."

For GCC, RemotePass’s offer was the most complete one. A lot of companies don’t manage Kuwait, for example, and you do."

What does the calculator include?

The calculator estimates total employer cost — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions (social security, pension, mandatory benefits) in the selected country. It does not include RemotePass service fees, which depend on the number of workers and employment type. For a full cost breakdown including fees, request a quote.

How accurate are the estimates?

Estimates are based on current statutory employer contribution rates for each country and the gross salary you enter. Actual costs can vary with employment type, benefits selections, and local rule changes — request a full quote for a precise figure.

What countries does RemotePass cover?

RemotePass supports hiring and payments in 150+ countries, including markets many providers avoid such as Egypt, Pakistan, KSA, Nigeria, and Indonesia.

What’s the difference between EOR, COR, and local payroll?

An Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs full-time staff on your behalf; a Contractor of Record (COR) manages compliant contractor engagements; local payroll runs pay through your own entity. RemotePass supports all three.

Can I compare costs across multiple countries?

Yes — run the calculator for each country to compare total employer cost side by side, or request a consolidated quote for your specific hiring plan.
