Which calculator answers which question
Start with the decision you have to take next. Budgeting a hire needs the employer cost calculator; renewing or signing an EOR contract needs the fee audit; a restructuring needs the severance calculator; a business case for moving work offshore needs the nearshore comparator; and the question "should we just set up our own company?" is what the break-even analyzer is for.
| Question | Tool | Main outputs |
|---|---|---|
| What does this hire really cost each month? | Employer cost & take-home | Itemised employer and employee lines, burden %, net pay, team outlay |
| How much of my EOR bill is FX and deposits? | EOR fee & FX audit | 12- and 24-month TCO, hidden-cost share, regional comparison |
| What do we owe if we make a role redundant? | Severance & notice | Qualifying status, notice, tiered severance, checklist |
| What does a Caribbean team save vs the US? | Nearshore TCO | Loaded cost per FTE, team savings, margin % |
| When does our own entity beat an EOR? | Entity vs EOR | Break-even month and headcount, 24-month curve |
The formulas behind the tools
Every calculator states its assumptions under the result, including which benchmark it uses where a figure depends on your contract or the authority’s annual notice.

FAQs
Do the calculators store my data?
No. They run entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent unless you submit the request form.
How accurate are the results?
They apply the 2026 statutory rates, ceilings and severance tiers published by each authority, with benchmark exchange rates. They are budgeting estimates; payroll should be run on the authority’s current tables.
Can I change the exchange rate?
The employer cost calculator lets you enter salary in local currency, which removes FX from the statutory math. The EOR audit lets you change the FX spread. Benchmark rates are shown with every result.
Which islands does the severance calculator cover?
Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Guyana, the Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands.
