What is Multiplier?

Multiplier is a global employment platform built around the Employer of Record model. When you hire someone in a country where you have no legal entity, Multiplier acts as the legal employer on your behalf — issuing a compliant local contract, running payroll, withholding taxes, and administering statutory benefits — while the person works day to day for you. That lets a company in one country put a full-time employee on the books in another within days instead of spending months and significant money standing up a foreign subsidiary.

Beyond EOR, Multiplier covers contractor onboarding and payments and offers global payroll for countries where you already have your own entity. The platform centralizes contracts, payslips, expenses, time off, and benefits so HR can manage an international team from one dashboard. Coverage spans 150+ countries, which puts it on par with the largest players in the space and lets growing companies hire globally without juggling local accountants and lawyers in every market.

Key features

Multiplier pricing explained

Multiplier prices per worker. Its Employer of Record service runs about $400 per employee per month for standard-complexity countries, with higher-complexity markets (for example France, Germany, or the UAE) priced higher and a few requiring a custom quote. Contractor management is roughly $40 per active contractor per month, and global payroll for your existing entities is typically in the $20–$40 per employee range. There are generally no setup, onboarding, or offboarding fees. The important caveat: the platform fee is on top of the employee's gross salary and mandatory employer contributions such as social security and pension, which vary by country. Start with the free demo and confirm current per-country pricing before you hire.

Multiplier vs Deel vs Remote

Is Multiplier worth it?

For companies hiring across borders, Multiplier is a compelling option: the country coverage matches the biggest names, the platform consolidates EOR, contractors, and payroll, and the per-employee rate generally lands below Deel, Remote, and Oyster — which adds up quickly when you hire several people. The honest reality of any EOR is that the platform fee is only one line item; you still pay full salary and mandatory employer contributions, and those vary widely by country. Run a few real cost scenarios in the demo, and if the numbers work, Multiplier is a buy for cost-conscious global hiring.
