Cost comparison
What does a US hire actually cost you?
Not just the number on the job advert. Payroll tax, benefits, paid leave, equipment and recruiting all ride along with a salary — and most of it stays invisible until it shows up on a P&L.
Put a real role and salary into the calculator below and see the full US-side cost next to what the same seat costs staffed through GH. Every assumption behind the arithmetic is disclosed on the page, not held back for a sales call.

Every assumption this rests on
These are conservative public US averages — employer payroll tax, benefits load, paid leave, and the rest — not GH Business Solutions' own measured figures. They're disclosed here in full so you can check the arithmetic yourself rather than take our word for it.
| Assumption | Value |
|---|---|
| Employer payroll tax | 9.15% |
| Benefits load | 25% |
| Paid leave | 20 days |
| Workstation and software | $1,500 |
| Cost per hire | $4,000 |
| Annual turnover | 30% |
| GH rate | $10.00 per billable hour (our range is $9-$10 — we cost the top of it here) |
