Fees and costs, 2026

What does EOR Austria pricing include?

Two numbers decide what an Austrian hire costs you each month. The first is the employer share of statutory charges, starting with 20.98% social security on regular pay in 2026 before payroll levies. The second is the fee for our work: from €599 per employee per month. Statutory charges pass through at cost, with nothing added.

What’s included

What is inside the fee?

The monthly fee pays for every employer task we take on, from the first contract draft to the Lohnzettel after year end. Each item below applies to every employee on your account.

Employment contract

Payroll

Gross-to-net each month across 14 payments, with the 6% rate applied to most 13th and 14th salaries.

Filings to the ÖGK and tax office

The mBGM via ELDA, wage tax, DB and DZ, and Kommunalsteuer paid to the municipality.

Statutory entitlements

Leave of 25 working days, sick pay, care leave and parental leave recorded and paid on the legal scales.

Pricing questions

What else shapes the total?

What sets the fee?+
€599 per employee per month is the starting point. Your quote gives the exact monthly figure for each person before anything is signed, and that figure then appears as a separate line on every invoice, apart from salary and statutory charges.
Is the fee tied to the salary level?+
No. It is a monthly amount per employee in euros, not a share of pay. The statutory charges are the part that grows with salary: employer social security, DB, DZ and Kommunalsteuer are all percentages of gross pay. Contributions are capped once pay passes €6,930 a month in 2026, so above that only the levies keep rising.
How much do employer charges add in 2026?+
On regular pay the employer’s social security rate is 20.98%, falling to 20.48% for the two special payments. On top come 1.53% for the severance fund, 3.7% DB, a DZ of 0.31% to 0.40% by province and 3% Kommunalsteuer, plus €2 a week per employee in Vienna. For a €60,000 salary in Vienna that adds about €17,805 a year, roughly 29.7% on top of gross pay.
Which costs pass straight on?+
Gross salary, employer contributions, payroll levies, agreed benefits and any expenses you approve are passed on exactly as incurred. Each appears on the invoice under its own heading, so you can match the statutory amounts to what reached the ÖGK, the municipality and the tax office.
Which currency are invoices in?+
Invoices are issued in euros, the currency in which Austrian salaries, contributions and taxes are paid. For a rough conversion, the ECB reference rate on 2 October 2026 was 1 EUR = 1.1225 USD, which puts €599 at about $672; your bank’s rate on the day you pay sets the final amount.
How long must the arrangement run?+
Your quote sets out the terms of our agreement; in practice Austrian employment law decides how quickly an employment can end. Probation lasts up to one month, and during it either side may end the contract at once. After that, employer notice is six weeks in the first two years and two months from the third, ending on a quarter day unless the contract names the 15th or month end. An employee gives one month.
