FAQ
On top of salary, employers in India typically pay around 15 to 16% in statutory costs, mainly Provident Fund (12% of basic wages) and a gratuity provision. Use our EOR cost calculator for a full estimate for your role.
India’s four Labour Codes took effect on 21 November 2025, replacing 29 older labour laws. Allowances above 50% of total pay now count as wages, which can raise PF and gratuity costs, and fixed-term employees qualify for gratuity after one year instead of five.
