Contractor vs employee calculator
Compare the cost of engaging someone as a contractor versus an employee through an EOR, with the country's misclassification notes.
| Option | Estimated annual cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Contractor | $69,588 | Cheapest on paper. No statutory benefits; reclassification risk in Argentina if the relationship looks like employment. |
| Employee via EOR | $87,588 – $91,188 | Local contract, statutory benefits and payroll compliance handled by the EOR. |
Argentina contractor risk: Misclassification carries serious penalties and fines under Argentine labor law (Remote). Independent contractors (monotributistas/autonomos) must be genuinely autonomous; 2026 reform eased some contractor rules (details not verified). Not legal advice.
