💼 International Contractor vs Employee Cost Estimator

Compare the total net income and withholding obligations of operating as an independent foreign contractor versus a local full-time employee.

What is this tool?

Remote workers often choose between being hired as a direct contractor or through an EOR (Employer of Record) as a local full-time employee. Contractors get a higher gross payout but zero benefits and heavy self-employment taxes, while employees get deductions up-front. This tool highlights the net difference.

How it works?

Input the offered compensation and your estimated tax rate. The tool balances corporate benefits, local social security matchings (typically 7-10% for employees vs 15%+ self-employment tax for contractors) to reveal your true net worth under each layout.

Is it free for all?

Yes, 100% Free! Negotiate your global remote contracts with maximum financial leverage.
