Working remotely for US and European companies from Tbilisi
The hours you would work, what remote roles pay against local wages, taxes and how you get paid.
Pay here and pay remote
Average monthly wage, Tbilisi: 2,758 GEL (Q2 2026)[1], about $1,061 at the official rate[2]. The national figure for Georgia was 2,389.3 GEL (Q2 2026)[3], so local pay here is +15% against the country average.

Your hours for US and European clients
Hours in Tbilisi, January
Berlin / Paris (CET) gives the most overlap with a normal local day (6 hours in January). A US East Coast day starts at 18:00 your time in winter, so most US roles mean afternoon-to-night shifts.
Taxes and getting paid
- Small business status for individual entrepreneurs: 1% tax on gross turnover up to GEL 500,000 a year, 3% above that[6].
- Clients pay contractors through platforms such as Deel[7] or by bank transfer, for example via Wise[8]; the platform fees are the client's.
- Recruitment through Stafka is free for candidates; nothing is deducted from your pay.
English
Georgia: #35 in the EF English Proficiency Index 2025, score 541[9]. Roles with US clients need C1: we check it with a short written task and a voice message.
