Which EOR quote costs less?

People Ops Buyer research desk · Updated

Compare the same payroll and service scope before choosing on price. Separate recurring provider charges, first-payroll cash and refundable deposits so a lower monthly fee cannot hide a higher funding requirement.

This example uses fictional Swiss payroll and GBP quotes. Enter your written proposals, confirm missing costs and compare service responsibilities before choosing a provider. Currency changes reset the example; they do not convert an existing quote.

CHF 36,000 at CHF 1.20 per GBP requires £30,000 before charges. A adds £500 and 2%; B adds £750 and 0%. Monthly funding is £31,100 versus £30,750. A £5,000 B deposit increases B’s first cash to £35,750 without increasing recurring expense.

Method and evidence

Payroll divided by the reference rate gives the reference funding base. Apply conversion charges only to the converted share. A quoted rate already containing margin replaces the separate markup. Deposit is cash, not expense. Unconverted payroll is shown as a reference-rate funding equivalent; actual multi-currency cash balances are outside this model.
