Cost Comparisons
What additional costs should I budget beyond an engineer's base salary?
Hide answer
Beyond the engineer's base salary, you should budget for:
•Employment-related costs (if hiring directly): local employment taxes, benefits administration, and recruiter/finder fees (often +50% of salary)
•Equipment: computer and peripherals
•Benefits: health insurance and other perks
•Retention incentives: one-off bonuses
With staff augmentation rates ($7,500–$9,000/month for senior engineers), labor costs, equipment, benefits like health insurance, and internet stipends are already included in the monthly fee.
