Hire employees in Hungary with an Employer of Record

Hiring in Hungary requires a registered local employer to handle payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits. With Expand EOR, our local entity becomes the legal employer — so you can hire any candidate in Hungary without setting up your own subsidiary.

The local currency is HUF and the standard payroll cycle is monthly. The official working language is Hungarian / English, and contracts must comply with Hungary employment law.

Payroll in Hungary runs monthly. Employers are responsible for income tax withholding, social security contributions, and any mandatory benefits.

Estimated employer cost on top of gross salary: ~13% social tax. Expand EOR handles all calculations, deductions, and statutory filings on your behalf.

Total cost = gross salary + employer contributions (~13% social tax) + EOR fee starting at $299/month. There are no setup fees, no hidden charges, and no per-country surprises.

• Stay 100% compliant with Hungary employment, tax, and labour law.
• Pay employees in HUF on time, every cycle.
• Provide compliant local benefits and a great employee experience.
• Avoid permanent establishment risk and misclassification penalties.
