UK Employer of Record price index 2026

The Employer of Record price per employee per month that 13 providers publish on their own websites, read on 23 October 2026. Each row gives the price in the currency the page shows, what the page says is included where it says, the exact page we read and the date we read it.

An Employer of Record becomes the legal employer of the worker. Onshore Partners is not an Employer of Record, and is not one of the providers listed.

Short answer: On 23 October 2026 the 13 published starting prices ran from $199 to USD 699 per employee per month, about £148 to £519 at HMRC's October 2026 rate. The most common figure was $599, about £445, published by Atlas HXM, Deel, G-P and Remote.

Providers are listed in alphabetical order. Every figure is a starting price as the provider publishes it, not a quote for a particular hire. Where a page shows its own price in pounds we give that figure; otherwise the dollar price is divided by HMRC's October 2026 rate of 1.3456 US dollars to the pound and rounded to the nearest pound. None of the pages we read showed a separate price for the UK.

Methodology

How the index is built

On 23 October 2026 we read each provider's own pricing page and saved a text copy of it. A price goes in the index only where the provider's own site states a price per employee per month for its Employer of Record service. We take no figure from reviews, comparison sites or blogs. Where a page states no price, the provider is listed as not published. Providers whose pricing page we could not read on the day are left out rather than guessed. The words in the "included" column are our short summary of what the page itself lists beside the price, and say "not itemised" where it lists nothing. Some older addresses now redirect: velocityglobal.com goes to Pebl, pilot.co goes to Plane, and joinhorizons.com goes to RemotePeople, so each provider appears under the name its page uses today. The pages were read from a UK connection, and a page may show a different currency elsewhere. Published prices change, so the date read sits beside every figure. The index is refreshed every quarter. Next update: January 2027.

For comparison, Onshore Partners is not an Employer of Record: we run UK payroll for overseas employers who stay the employer. A DPNI scheme is £157 a month. Setup is £750 per scheme. We will ask HMRC for the scheme that fits your facts, and they may suggest a different one once they have the full facts.
