Estimates are illustrative and based on your inputs. Part-time calculations assume 20 hrs/week (0.5 FTE): salary is halved; benefits and overhead are proportionally adjusted; office/equipment cost is reduced by 50%. Nearshore rate is an all-in flat fee that covers compensation, benefits, equipment, HR, and management. Recruiting cost is estimated at your selected % of annual salary. Actual costs vary by role, provider, and region.
