Open EOR Dataset (2026): Provider Pricing + Global Statutory Employer Cost

Two openly licensed (CC BY 4.0) datasets from BestEOR.co for cross-border hiring research. This is a dated snapshot of the live catalog, with per-record citations and confidence flags. Sources include provider pricing pages, government publications, legal/tax references, and World Bank macro indicators. Provider pricing: 62 employer-of-record and global-payroll providers. 35 publish a starting monthly price; the other 27 have null prices and retain their quote-term citations. Median published fee: USD 399 per employee per month. Every provider price was read again at its source on 2026-09-28; the snapshot fetch date (2026-09-29) does not mean prices were re-verified that day. Country employment: 139 countries with employer contribution details, minimum wage, annual leave, 15 additional employment terms and macro context, unchanged since the September 23 correction release. 138 records have a representative percentage comparison rate; Denmark uses fixed local-currency contributions with a null percentage. Null is not zero. Percentage figures are not salary-specific effective payroll rates: consult the caps, thresholds, contribution bases and eligibility caveats. Price re-verification release: supersedes the September 23 snapshot. Blue Marble Global Payroll is removed (its domain is a parked page with no EOR offering; the business was acquired by Paylocity in 2021). Seven providers now publish an EOR fee: AYP Group USD 488, Boundless USD 199, Papaya Global USD 499, Parakar EUR 649 (about USD 740), Via USD 599, WorkMotion USD 549 and Workpay from USD 299. INS Global and Ontop are now quote-only. Lano's EUR 499 is re-converted to about USD 569 (ECB reference rate 1.1403, 2026-09-25); Velocity Global (Pebl) USD 399 is no longer marked promotional; Justworks USD 599 now cites its EOR billing FAQ; GoGlobal and Mauve Group are confirmed quote-only; Centuro Global and TriNet cite updated source pages. The four data files are copied from the live public exports and validated for matching row counts, unique identifiers, citations, numeric types and CSV/JSON agreement. The manifest records fetch time and SHA-256 checksums. For current data after this snapshot, use the live downloads. Attribution: BestEOR.co, Open EOR Dataset, CC BY 4.0.
