Most cost-effective owned-entity Employer of Record
Dataset as of August 2026 · Independent procurement analysis
If you are looking for owned-entity employment, employees and contractors on one platform, and equity, equipment, and visas in the product, Multiplier lists that seat at $459 per employee. That is the best value for those features against Deel and Remote. Asia-Pacific is a strength of that footprint. The headquarters is Singapore.
$459 against Deel and Remote
| Vendor | Fee | Delivery | Owned entities | Equity | Equipment | HRIS | FX | Deposit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $459 | Owned | 100 | In product | In product | 10+ | 0.5% to 1.5% | 1 month | |
| $599 | Owned | 100 | In product | In product | 300+ | 0.0% to 1.0% | 1 month | |
| $599 | Owned | 80 | In product | In product | 20+ | 0.5% to 1.5% | 0 months |
Deposit, FX, and add-ons sit on top of the seat. A supported country is not automatically an owned entity.
Owned-entity employment
Multiplier employs the person through its own legal entity. It runs statutory payroll, handles local tax withholding, and issues the localized employment contract. KYC checks are listed. You direct the day-to-day work.
Multiplier lists 100 owned entities. A supported country is not one of them. Get the legal name of the employing company for the hire country before you treat that hire as owned-entity delivery.
Employees and contractors on one platform
The published fee is $40 per contractor. A contractor can be converted to an employee on the same platform, without a second vendor, and that employment stays on owned-entity delivery. The employee seat is $459 from that point.
Equity, equipment, and visas in the seat
Equity grant administration, equipment shipping, and visa support are in the $459 seat, not a separate contract. SSO is listed. The fee is a flat amount per person, so a local salary increase does not raise it. On the published employee fee, that service is $140 a month below Deel and Remote, $1680 a year per employee.
What you give up for the lower cost
- No published IP indemnification amount. Deel lists $1,000,000. Remote lists $250,000. If the hire creates proprietary work, write the assignment and the cap into the contract.
- About one month of deposit. Confirm whether that month is salary only or total costs, whether it is refundable and when, and whether a raise increases it without written notice.
- Customers report an FX markup of 0.5% to 1.5%. That is not a rate card. Ask whether funding in the salary currency changes it, and for a quote on the corridors you will fund.
- The HRIS list is 10+. Deel lists 300+.

Frequently asked questions
Who employs the person in the hire country?
Multiplier, when that country is one of its owned entities. A supported country is not that confirmation. Get the legal name of the employing company on the quote. Your company still directs the work. Multiplier runs statutory payroll, tax withholding, and the localized contract.
Can a contractor become an employee on the same platform?
Yes. The published fee is $40 per contractor. Conversion stays on the same platform and on owned-entity delivery. The employee seat is $459 from that point. Confirm the employing entity for that country before the conversion.
How does intellectual property get back to your company?
The employment contract is with Multiplier, not with you. No indemnification amount is published. Deel lists $1,000,000. Remote lists $250,000. If the hire creates proprietary work, write assignment from the worker through Multiplier to your company, and a cap, into the contract before you sign.
What cash is locked before the first payroll, and can it rise?
About one month. The listed amount is at Multiplier's discretion. Confirm whether that month is salary only or total employment cost, whether it is refundable and when, and whether a raise or a new hire increases the lockup without written notice.
What FX markup should we expect?
Customers report 0.5% to 1.5%. That is not a published rate card, and it is not a zero-markup commitment. Ask whether funding in the salary currency changes it, and get a quote on the corridors you will fund before you sign.
What should we confirm before we sign?
The legal name of the employing company, whether the deposit month is salary only or total costs, the FX markup on the corridors you will fund, and the IP assignment and cap if the hire creates proprietary work.
