What it costs and what the law requires to employ someone in Togo through an EOR, with every figure cited to a primary source.
To employ someone in Togo, an employer pays 17.5% (pension 12.5% + family allowances 3% + work injury 2%)↗ in mandatory contributions on top of gross salary, must give 30 days↗ of paid annual leave, and 15 days (hourly-paid), 1 month (workers, employees), 3 months (supervisors, managers)↗ of notice to terminate.

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.

A listing is the provider's own statement that it can employ in Togo, read on its site on Oct 31, 2026. Fees are each provider's cheapest published rate, not a quote for Togo. 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 Togo on its own site is not shown here, even where it may serve it. Confirm availability for your role and contract type before signing.

No. An employer of record (EOR) already holds a legal entity in Togo 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 Togo as a permanent establishment, whoever employs them.
