A Guide to International Quotes 

Many companies first ask, “What does it cost?” when considering international employment. Costs can vary significantly by country and engagement, so here’s a general overview of what is typically included in an international quote from TCWGlobal.

  • Annual Salary: This is the annual salary provided by the client, displayed in the local currency with the USD equivalent as reference based off current exchange rates.
  • Total Monthly Gross Salary: The fixed monthly payment a worker receives in local currency before any mark-up.
  • Total Employer Costs: Varying by location, these include required expenses like taxes and employer contributions (e.g., social security, pension, health coverage).
  • TCWGlobal Support and Compliance Package: This covers services from TCWGlobal, providing oversight of the complete employment lifecycle and payroll, monitoring of local statutory requirements and compliance, and consolidated white glove customer service.
  • Estimated Monthly Invoice to Client: This is the expected monthly payment, excluding any additional worker payments like commissions, bonuses, or expenses.
  • Total Mark-Up: For ease, this percentage is applied on top of the total gross monthly salary and includes all previously mentioned costs (e.g. employer costs, etc.)
