What should an employer-cost quote for Mexico include?
A reliable combined employer-cost estimate cannot be calculated from annual gross salary alone for Mexico. Confirm daily integrated contribution wages, covered days and UMA periods, aguinaldo and vacation-premium amounts, the current CEAV band and the employer's occupational-risk premium. Obtain state-tax and PTU treatment in an itemized quote; no total or percentage is shown.
What the local quote needs to establish
- IMSS uses daily integrated contribution wages and covered days. Fixed and variable wage components, tenure and contractual benefits change the base.
- Aguinaldo and vacation premium belong in the applicable wage base. Prorate entitlements for shorter service and avoid adding benefits already included in annual compensation.
- UMA is MXN 117.31 daily from February 1, 2026; January uses the prior value. The daily social-insurance ceiling is not a cap on salary, cash benefits or EOR fees.
- The fixed sickness-and-maternity charge is separate; the additional charge uses only the excess above three UMA. CEAV uses the year-specific wage-band table, not the lowest rate for every salary.
- The occupational-risk premium depends on the employer. State payroll tax, PTU, benefits and exit liabilities need separate confirmation. No omitted obligation is treated as zero.
Read the worked assumptions in the EOR budgeting article. The calculator keeps this country available for selection, but does not produce a combined amount from these inputs.
EOR service fees are separate
Published provider fees are not country-specific quotes. Salary, statutory costs, benefits, deposits and currency conversion must be itemized separately.
