Cost to hire in Georgia: 17 roles, contractor and EOR

Starting pay: 1 start from our open offer bands (e-commerce order specialists); 14 from official pay by occupation (Geostat groups, 2025); 2 from the asked rates of live Stafka profiles. Figures are a month, in US dollars at the 2026-11-12 rate¹.

The EOR premium is widest for administrative assistants, data entry specialists, HR assistants and narrowest for marketing specialists, project coordinators, paralegals: the provider fee is fixed, so it weighs most on the lowest pay.

17 roles meet a regime that may not fit their activity: executive assistants, administrative assistants, virtual receptionists, office managers, customer support specialists, e-commerce order specialists, data entry specialists, bookkeepers, payroll specialists, accountants, medical administrative assistants, paralegals, HR assistants, recruiters, marketing specialists, project coordinators, sales development representatives. Their pages say which rule and what it changes.

EOR providers confirmed for Georgia on their own pages: Remote (from $599²³). These are general list prices, not quotes for Georgia (Remote's needs an annual contract).

Points where Georgia's rules change, as monthly pay: $16,067 (the small business ceiling (1% up to it, 3% above)).

Tbilisi shares 5 hours of a normal day with London and 4 with New York on a 13:00–22:00 local shift.

Because part of the contractor's tax here is stepped, the share a person keeps moves with pay: administrative assistants keep the most of their invoice (99.0% at $680), paralegals the least (80.0% at $670).

Contractor regimes in Georgia

• Individual entrepreneur with small business status⁴⁵⁶⁷. 1% of turnover while annual turnover stays under GEL 500,000; 3% once annual turnover exceeds GEL 500,000. The status is kept until year-end after the ceiling is exceeded; exceeding it two years in a row revokes the status on 1 January of the third year. Excluded activities include legal and notarial services, tax or audit consulting, advisory and financial services, staffing services, licensed activities, gambling and excise goods.
• Micro business status⁴⁸. Individuals with annual turnover under GEL 30,000 and no employees who register as a micro business are exempt from tax on business income. Excluded activities (secondary source): consulting, IT and digital services, translation, remote project work, cross-border services and any activity earning money from abroad; solo work only. Other secondary sources cite Government Resolution No. 415 for licensed, legal, notarial, audit and consulting exclusions and for employment-like work.
• Individual entrepreneur, general regime⁴. Personal income is taxed at a flat 20%.

What the figures here assume in Georgia

Micro business status taxes business income at 0% under GEL 30,000 of turnover a year with no employees⁴, but a secondary source lists consulting, remote project work and services sold abroad among the activities it excludes⁸, and it does not fit someone who in practice works as an employee. No role here is priced at 0%: small business status (1% up to GEL 500,000, 3% above) is the usual route.

Left out: the self-employed pension contribution, because PwC does not say how its base applies under small business status⁶. Open question: whether the employee's 2% pension comes off the base before the 20% income tax. We charge 20% on gross salary, as PwC words it; if the pension is deductible, each EOR salary here is slightly too high.

What an employer pays in Georgia

• Pension contribution (employer): 2% of gross⁶

The state adds its own 2% pension co-contribution for annual salary below GEL 24,000; 1% between GEL 24,000 and 60,000; none above GEL 60,000⁶; it is not a cost to the employer.
