Understand the real cost of scaling your engineering team

Engineering is one of the biggest investments U.S. companies make, and often one of the least transparent. Base salaries tell part of the story. Benefits, HR infrastructure, office overhead, and recruiting fees can push the total cost per hire well above what appears on the offer letter.

Nearshore staff augmentation in LATAM changes that equation. With a single, consolidated fee, companies get senior engineers with full time zone alignment, strong English proficiency, and all operational costs already included: payroll, compliance, HR, and hardware.

This calculator gives you a concrete way to see that difference, role by role. No estimates. No hidden fees. Just the real numbers behind building a high-performing engineering team.
