How much does an EOR cost in Pakistan?

Listed starting fees run from $199/mo (Skuad, 12-month commitment) to $699/mo (Oyster) per employee as of Oct 2026, with Deel and Remote at $599/mo. That's on top of salary and employer contributions.

Do I need a Pakistani company to hire there?

Not if you use an EOR. The EOR is the legal employer through its own or a partner entity, while you manage the work.

Do labour rules differ by province?

Yes. Since the 18th Amendment, much of labour law is set by the provinces, so a hire in Karachi (Sindh) and one in Lahore (Punjab) can have different social security rules. A good EOR handles this for you.

Can I hire contractors instead?

Yes, most of these providers also offer contractor plans, from $19–$49/mo. Make sure the role genuinely fits contractor status.

Pakistan has deep technical and project talent, but employing people directly means registering a company with the SECP, plus EOBI, provincial social security and gratuity rules that differ by province. An EOR takes that on for a monthly fee per person. Here are five providers that list Pakistan, with starting prices from their own websites.

Budget tip: the EOR fee sits on top of salary and employer contributions. See the Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi pages for minimum wages and employer costs, or the Pakistan country guide.

Operator's note

EOR or your own entity?

Registering your own private limited company with the SECP gives you full control and can be cheaper per head for a large, long-term team. But it takes time, local advisers and ongoing filings, and labour rules vary by province. For a first hire or a small team, an EOR is usually the faster, lower-risk way in. Revisit the numbers once headcount is stable.
