All 15 countries: supported employer-cost comparisons
Countries with supported models are ordered by their modeled additions to a mid-level salary. India and Mexico remain listed without a numeric rank, total or percentage because additional local inputs are needed.
The two cost columns are the same country at two salary levels. Where they differ, the documented bases, coverage and contribution ceilings matter: employer contribution ceilings, country by country.

Coverage is 15 countries and is not a survey of the whole world. We add a country with a documented model or a country file explaining the inputs still needed. Coverage and omissions differ by country; a lower modeled percentage does not establish a lower complete hiring budget. Ask for one here.
The two columns are benchmark salaries, not yours, and the ordering changes with the salary. Run the countries you are choosing between at the salaries you intend to pay — the calculator takes up to six at once — before you use any figure here. If you have no entity in the country, the employer of record fee that goes on top is published separately, and it is flat rather than a percentage.

Numeric rankings and ceiling-effect comparisons cover supported models only. India, Mexico remain listed with no calculated total or percentage; missing inputs are not treated as zero.
