Cost and pricing
Employer of Record Cost in Mexico
EOR cost in Mexico is gross salary plus the statutory employer burden plus a management fee per employee per month. The burden is fixed by Mexican law and market practice, so what a provider controls is the fee, what that fee includes and who carries the employer risk. We build the number for your actual roles, salaries and locations, and invoice it in USD.

Why Quotes You Receive Look So Different
Most buyers are comparing quotes that are not comparable. One provider quotes a low monthly fee and excludes onboarding, benefits administration, severance accrual and termination handling. Another quotes a percentage of payroll, which quietly rises with every raise you give. A third quotes in pesos and passes every currency movement to your budget.
There are only four moving parts: the salary you decide, the statutory burden Mexican law imposes, the provider fee, and the terms that decide what happens when something goes wrong or you want to leave. Everything else is packaging.
We give you the full structure before you give us a purchase order, priced on the roles you actually intend to hire, in one USD invoice with exchange-rate protection and beneficial MXN conversion.

Get My Mexico Employment Cost02What we do for you
What Your Cost Model Includes
One accountable relationship from workforce design through ongoing delivery.
Statutory employer burden
IMSS, INFONAVIT, state payroll tax, vacation and vacation premium, aguinaldo and profit sharing where applicable, calculated on your salary levels rather than a generic percentage.
Severance exposure accrued, not hidden
Termination cost in Mexico is a real liability. We show it as an accrual up front instead of leaving it as a surprise invoice later.
Management fee, stated plainly
One fee per employee per month, with what it covers written down: contracts, payroll, enrolment, payslips, benefits administration, onboarding and offboarding.
USD invoicing and rate protection
Payroll in pesos, one invoice in US dollars, exchange-rate protection and beneficial MXN conversion so the budget you approve is the budget you pay.
The entity crossover point
The headcount and timing at which your own Mexican entity becomes cheaper than EOR, modelled on your plan and your administrative cost.
Send us the roles, the headcount or the question. A Mexico specialist comes back with the recommended model, the locations and what it costs.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask us before they commit. If yours is not here, send it and a Mexico specialist answers it directly.
Ask a Mexico SpecialistHow much does an Employer of Record cost in Mexico?+
EOR in Mexico is priced as the employee's gross salary plus statutory employer burden plus a management fee per employee per month. The burden is set by Mexican law and market practice, not by the provider, so the honest comparison between providers is the fee, what it includes and who carries the employer risk. We quote the specific roles, salaries, locations and benefits you intend to offer, in USD.
What is included in the employer burden?+
IMSS social security, INFONAVIT housing contributions, state payroll tax, paid vacation and the vacation premium, the annual aguinaldo, profit sharing where applicable, and the accrual for severance exposure. The exact loaded percentage moves with salary level, state and benefit design.
Are there setup or exit charges?+
Ask every provider three questions: is there an onboarding charge per employee, is there a minimum term or minimum headcount, and what happens to the employee if you transition to your own entity. Our engagements carry no exclusivity and no lock-in, and we support transition to a client-owned Mexican entity with continuity of service, benefits and seniority.
Is EOR cheaper than opening our own entity?+
It is cheaper until it is not. EOR converts formation, accounting, tax filing and labor administration into a per-employee fee, which wins at low and uncertain headcount. Once headcount is stable and you need local invoicing or contracting, an owned entity usually wins. We model the crossover for your actual plan instead of defending one answer.
How do you protect us from exchange-rate movement?+
Payroll runs in Mexican pesos and you receive one USD invoice, with exchange-rate protection and beneficial MXN conversion applied so your landed cost does not drift with currency swings.
