The 2026 Workforce Cost Guide

How Do Costs Compare for a Domestic Hire vs. a Hire in the Philippines?

A salary is only one line of what a hire costs. Payroll taxes, benefits, workers' compensation, equipment, recruiting fees, and months of ramp time all land on your books too.

Most owners never add them up, so the comparison between a domestic hire and a Philippines-based hire never starts from real numbers.

This free guide puts both models side by side, category by category. You get a worksheet to fill in with your own numbers, straight answers on talent and English skills, and a checklist of questions to ask any staffing partner.
