Beyond Hub Pricing: Two Models, Both Published
Beyond Hub publishes its pricing because opaque fee structures are the norm in this category and they should not be. Two engagement models, both with exact fees, so you can compare before a call.
Two engagement models
Both models include sourcing and vetting. The difference is who employs the person and what Beyond Hub manages after placement.
Contractor
Flexible engagement, no employment relationship
- 3-month pilot at the same fee, then month to month with 30 days’ notice
- Sourcing, contracting and compliant invoicing
- No entity to open, no benefits administration
- Fee is 25% of the contractor rate
- Best for flexible, project-based or part-time work
Fully Managed (EOR)
Beyond Hub employs the person in El Salvador
- Beyond Hub is the legal employer in El Salvador
- Payroll, taxes, benefits, compliance, HR, equipment and onboarding are all handled
- You lead the work; Beyond Hub runs everything around it
- Fee is a flat +$449/month on top of the fully-loaded salary
- Best for core, ongoing, full-time roles
- Renewable 3-month terms — ending an employment relationship in El Salvador can involve severance
One month’s deposit at signing. It protects your team member’s pay if an invoice is ever late, and it’s credited to your final invoice when the engagement ends.
Not sure which fits? Beyond Hub will tell you on the call — and if the role is a core full-time seat, they will say so rather than sell you the cheaper option.
How the monthly cost is built, on a $2,500 base salary
Beyond Hub's EOR fee is a flat $449/month. The rest of the cost is the employee's base salary plus El Salvador's statutory employer contributions, shown here line by line.
| Component | Monthly |
|---|---|
| Base salary | $2,500 |
| ISSS — health (7.5%, capped at $75) | $75 |
| AFP — pension (8.75%) | $219 |
| INSAFORP — training levy (1%) | $25 |
| Aguinaldo accrual (15 days/yr) | $104 |
| Vacation premium (30% on 15 days/yr) | $31 |
| Severance accrual (1 month/yr) | $208 |
| Fully-loaded cost (~26% burden) | $3,163 |
| Beyond Hub EOR fee (flat) | $449 |
| Total monthly client cost | $3,612 |
Figures are planning estimates, not quotes; final pricing depends on the negotiated salary, benefits elected, and tenure. Employer rates reflect Salvadoran labor law as of May 2026 and should be confirmed with a licensed local payroll or legal advisor. US comparison assumes a fully-loaded US cost of base salary × 1.43.
What mid-level roles cost, fully managed
All-in monthly client cost for mid-level hires under the Fully Managed (EOR) model, compared to the equivalent US fully-loaded employer cost. Ranges reflect market variation in negotiated salary.
| Role | Beyond Hub (all-in/mo) | US fully-loaded/mo | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales Development Representative | $2,400–$2,700 | $6,554 | 59–63% |
| Customer Support Rep | $2,150–$2,400 | $5,005 | 52–57% |
| Virtual Assistant | $2,450–$2,700 | $6,554 | 59–63% |
| Bookkeeper / Accounting Assistant | $2,550–$2,850 | $5,958 | 52–57% |
| Operations Analyst | $2,700–$3,000 | $8,342 | 64–68% |
Save 50–70% vs a comparable fully-loaded US hire. US fully-loaded monthly = US base salary ÷ 12 × 1.43 (BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, Dec 2025). US benchmarks from BLS OEWS and the Robert Half 2026 Salary Guide.

How nearshore pricing models compare
Four common fee structures in the market. Beyond Hub uses the first two.
| Fee model | How it works | When it favours the buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Flat monthly EOR fee | Fixed fee per employee per month, on top of salary | Predictable cost at any salary level; best for full-time hires above minimum wage |
| Percentage of contractor rate | A percentage of the agreed contractor rate | Flexible engagements; total cost scales with hours |
| Percentage of salary (EOR) | A percentage of the employee's base salary each month | Low-wage roles only; expensive as salary rises |
| One-time placement fee | A percentage of first-year salary, paid on hire | When the client handles payroll and compliance themselves; no ongoing support |
Beyond Hub's +$449/month flat fee includes sourcing and vetting. Most global EOR platforms employ someone you already found. That distinction is the practical difference.
