What an employee costs is not what their payslip says

    Gross is the starting point. Underneath it are costs that appear on no payslip and that you pay every month all the same. Here you can put a number on them: yours, not ours.

    The costs that never reach the payslip

    None of these surprises anyone who already has a team. What surprises people is seeing them added up.
    • The employer's own social contributions, on top of the employee's gross

    • Extra payments and the accrued portion of holiday

    • The laptop, the peripherals and replacing them when they age out

    • The physical desk: space, power, connectivity and day-to-day supplies

    • Your team's hours screening CVs and running interviews

    • The days the role is covered on paper but not in practice

    • The mental provision you make «in case it does not work out», which you almost never cost

    Put your own numbers in

    None of this comes from a table of ours. Enter what applies to you — your accountant has the exact percentages — and the sum runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

    What the contract says, before anything else.

    The percentage you pay on top of gross. Your accountant knows it.

    Laptop, peripherals and replacement, spread per year.

    Space, utilities and supplies. Zero if they work remotely.

    What it cost you to find them, spread per year.


    The one we give you on the first call. Put it in and compare.

    This is a spreadsheet, not advice. Which percentages and concepts apply to your case is for your accountant to determine, not us. Here we only add up what you enter.

    What stops being on your side of the line

    • Employment

      Contract, payroll, taxes and social security handled by us. You get a single invoice in euros.

    • Equipment

      Laptop and peripherals provided and maintained by us, with guaranteed replacement. You buy nothing.

    • The desk

      They work remotely on a managed virtual desktop. No space to pay for, no supplies to restock.

    • Absence

      20 days a year of holiday, short sick leave and permits already included in the fee. No rebilling.

    • Hiring

      We source, assess and present. And if they do not fit, we find someone else without charging you for recruitment.

    • The uncertainty

      No minimum term: you leave whenever you want with 60 days' notice. And a 90-day guarantee from the start.

    Do the numbers work?

    Half an hour on a call and we give you the exact price for your role. If we are not a fit, we will say so in that conversation.
