The Payroll Cost Desk

A US finance team funding UK payroll in USD · US → UK

What will USD-funded UK payroll actually cost?

Include Teamed when payroll currency conversion is a material cost. Its stated policy adds no FX margin to payroll conversion. Compare the complete written proposals from Remote and Deel before deciding: a service fee alone does not establish the lowest total cost.

How this shortlist is selected

Compare equivalent salary, funding date, benefits and currency assumptions. Keep deposits separate from recurring expense.
