What hiring in Turkey through an EOR really costs
Every provider quotes a headline fee; none of them shows the full bill next to its competitors'. This comparison adds the identical Turkish statutory cost, each provider's fee and the FX markup where published, then ranks by the total and nothing else.

Where a provider does not publish its FX markup, the total shown excludes it; treat those totals as floors, not quotes. Deposits are refundable capital locked up, not a monthly cost. Providers are ordered by computed cost alone; see how this site makes money.
Methodology and sources
The statutory layer comes from our employer cost engine: gross salary plus employer social security and unemployment insurance on the capped base, with the Treasury incentive excluded because its eligibility belongs to the EOR entity and providers do not commit to passing it on. Provider fees are taken from public pricing pages on the fetch dates below and re-audited quarterly; deposits are shown as locked capital, not cost. Severance accrual practices differ by provider and are noted per provider rather than priced in.
