Add one specialist or an entire squad. Compare the full cost of employing locally with a Devs In India team, using published salary data. Every assumption is shown, sourced and adjustable.
It depends on the role, seniority and market you compare with. This calculator compares the full cost of employing a team locally, using published salary data plus employer costs and overheads, with an indicative Devs In India rate and an allowance for your own management time.
An estimate for planning, not a quote. Devs In India rates shown are indicative and confirmed after a short scoping call. See how it is calculated.
Every number above comes from the steps below. Change any setting and the steps update.
The calculation panel shows exactly how each figure is built, role by role.
Salary benchmarks from SEEK, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, IT Jobs Watch, Talent.com, the WSI Lohnspiegel and Savior Hire.
Replace our benchmark with your own salary data and switch any cost line on or off.
We keep the method simple, so you can check it against your own figures.
A published salary benchmark for your market, adjusted for role and experience. You can add employer on costs such as superannuation or National Insurance, overheads such as equipment and office space, and recruitment costs. Each line can be switched on or off.
An indicative monthly rate in INR that covers your specialist, recruitment, payroll, IT, secure equipment, account management and replacements. We convert it at the current mid market exchange rate. We also add 10% for your own management time, which you can switch off.
No. Our invoices carry no GST, VAT or other taxes, because payment in foreign currency makes our work an export of services. In the UK, the EU and some other countries, business clients may need to account for VAT themselves under the reverse charge. Your accountant can confirm what applies to you.
Yes. Teams of 5 or more get a further 10% discount on the total monthly invoice. It is negotiable and depends on the team members, so we confirm it when we quote. The calculator shows what the discount would mean for your team.
Senior and lead specialists cost more in every market. Local salaries use experience factors from Australian salary ranges. Pay in India rises faster with experience, so Devs In India rates use their own factors, set against a published India rate card. The saving is usually largest for junior and mid level roles.
It is a planning guide, not a quote. Salaries vary by city, skill and employer, so we also show a likely range. Your exact quote depends on skills, seniority and hours. Share your brief and we confirm within one business day.
Where local salaries are closer to offshore rates, such as New Zealand or the UAE, the cost gap is smaller. In those markets the main benefits are speed to hire, specialist skills and the freedom to scale.
Set what you charge for a mid level developer and your billable utilisation. Other roles and levels scale from that rate. We multiply each rate by billable hours, then subtract your Devs In India invoice and management time to show gross margin before your own sales and account costs.
