Deel pricing: what EOR, contractors and payroll cost (2026)

What the $599 covers, and what it does not

Deel's $599 is a monthly management fee per employee. The salary, employer taxes and contributions, allowances and benefits for that person are billed on top, as they are with every employer of record. Deel's plans are month to month with no long-term commitment, and it publishes no annual discount.

Before the first payroll Deel normally asks for a deposit for each EOR hire. Its help center puts it at one to one and a half months of all monthly charges, salary included, and says it can be higher in some countries or after contract amendments. On a $6,000 monthly employment cost that is $6,000 to $9,000 held per hire.

Fees that sit outside the list price

• Paying Deel's invoice: cards cost $0.30 plus 2.9% in the US and EU, or $0.30 plus 3.9% elsewhere. ACH, SEPA, BACS and wires cost $5.
• Currency conversion: when you pay in a currency other than the invoice currency, Deel converts at a forward rate from its banking partners, on top of the payment-method fee. It does not publish a markup percentage.
• Contractor withdrawals: local bank, Wise and Revolut withdrawals are free. SWIFT costs $5, PayPal 2.5% and Payoneer 1% with a $12 minimum.
• Crypto withdrawals: Coinbase charges 1.5% for BTC, ETH, SOL and DASH, and USDC costs $5 under $300 or 1.6% above. A USDC or USDT transfer to the contractor's own wallet costs 2% plus a $1 network fee, and is not available for US or UK accounts.

Add-ons and quote-only products

Deel prices most add-ons per employee: benefits management $10, Payroll Connect $5, treasury services $10 and expense management from $8. Deel IT is priced per user, from $49 to $149 a month. Immigration support, both the self-serve platform and managed immigration, has no published price. Every plan card on the pricing page leads to a demo, so the published figures are starting points for a sales conversation.

Deel's US PEO is shown two ways on the same pricing page: from $125 per employee per month on one tab, and as PEO Starter at $110 or PEO Pro at $120 on another. Ask which applies to your states and headcount.

How Deel's pricing compares with Toku's

On employer of record the list fees match at $599. The bigger differences are in contractors, where Toku lists contractor management at $19 against Deel's $49, and in how money moves. Toku itemizes platform fees, employer costs and network fees on the invoice, and lets employees opt in to receive net pay in USDC where local rules allow, with salary still valued and withheld in local currency.

Deel bundles more software, such as IT device management and HR tiers, that Toku does not sell. If you need those, Deel's per-employee add-ons belong in the comparison.
