What an EOR really costs in Bangladesh

The full cost to employ combines gross salary, the statutory employer burden, and the EOR provider's own service fee.

Across the 56 of 93 providers that publish a fee, the median is $349/employee/month (from $99 to $740); the rest quote per country.

This illustration applies the representative rate to the full salary. It does not apply contribution caps, local-currency thresholds or employee eligibility rules, so it is not a payroll quote. Actual cost depends on the salary, the provider, and country-specific quotes; some countries also add mandatory items such as 13th-month pay or severance accruals.

Before you sign with one of them: the questions worth asking each provider. Already employing someone in Bangladesh through an employer of record? Check what you pay against these fees.

A listing is the provider's own statement that it can employ in Bangladesh, read on its site on Nov 9, 2026. Fees are each provider's cheapest published rate, not a quote for Bangladesh. We read the country lists and country pages of all 93 providers we track; 78 name the countries they serve, and a provider that does not name Bangladesh on its own site is not shown here, even where it may serve it.

No. An employer of record (EOR) already holds a legal entity in Bangladesh and can employ your worker there on your behalf, running local payroll, tax and compliance, so you can hire without setting up your own entity. That settles the employment side only: what the person does for your company (signing or negotiating its contracts, running a sales team, working from one place for most of the year) can still make your company taxable in Bangladesh as a permanent establishment, whoever employs them.
