What an employee in Ireland costs you
One invoice arrives each month and carries two kinds of cost. Our fee is the first, fixed per employee and quoted before you hire. The cost of the employment is the second: gross pay, employer PRSI, and anything you have chosen to add. We bill that second group at what we pay out, and our fee holds steady whatever the salary does.
Inside the monthly fee
- Contract drafting, onboarding and Revenue registration
- Payroll each cycle, payslips, and payroll submissions to Revenue
- HR questions answered by people who work on Irish employment
- An account manager who stays with your account

How we sit against the platforms
Cheaper providers exist and we are not trying to undercut them. What €499 a month buys here is a team whose whole job is Irish employment, and an arrangement that bends to how your business works rather than the other way round.
