Mandatory employer contributions in Georgia

Employer cost at three salary levels

The examples use 1×, 2× and 4× Georgia’s 2025 GDP per person in local currency (26,576 GEL, World Bank) as reference salaries. GDP per person is not a wage; it is a neutral, cited yardstick for low, middle and senior pay.

Worked example

For a salary of 53,200 GEL a year, the employer adds about 1,064 GEL (2.0%) in mandatory contributions, for a total of 54,264 GEL, about $19,785 at the 2025 average exchange rate. The rate is roughly flat across salaries (2.0% to 2.0%), so on-costs scale with pay.

What is not included

• The employee also pays 2% and the state adds up to 2%. There is no other employer social tax.

How to budget a hire in Georgia

1. Start from the gross salary you plan to offer in GEL.
2. Add the mandatory contributions above. The calculator applies caps and salary bands automatically.
3. Add benefits customary in Georgia (health cover, bonuses, extra month salaries) as a percentage in the calculator.
4. If you have no local entity, add an employer-of-record fee. Deel and Remote both list EOR from $599 per employee per month on their public pricing pages (checked 23 October 2026).
5. Convert to your budgeting currency with a current rate. The USD figures here use the World Bank 2025 average.

Compare Georgia with other countries in the any-country comparison, or see whether an EOR, contractor or own entity is cheaper.
