# How much does an Employer of Record in Portugal cost?

Our Employer of Record fee in Portugal is €390 per employee/month. On top of that you pay the employee's salary and the statutory employer costs, which we pass on at cost with no markup. The main cost is employer social security of 23.75%, charged on all 14 salary payments, including the holiday and Christmas subsidies. Work accident insurance is mandatory and priced by the insurer, and the labour compensation funds cost nothing in 2026.

As an example, a gross salary of €5,000 a month costs about €7,219 a month before insurance and our fee. If you want benefits beyond what the law requires, such as private health insurance, we tell you the admin fee before you decide.
