Nearshore & Offshore Dev Cost Calculator
Compare what a software team really costs across the US, Western Europe, Romania and Pakistan.
Hiring locally in the US or Western Europe is often 2–4× the cost of an equally senior engineer elsewhere. Set your team shape below to see the fully-loaded annual delta.

Need this for real, on your stack?
These free tools are a taste of how we think. We’re a senior software team across Romania & Pakistan that ships deep technical work — platforms, infra, data and the gnarly bits in between.
Talk to our engineers →How the estimate works
We use blended fully-loaded rates (salary, employer taxes, benefits, equipment and overhead) by region and seniority, then multiply by team size and contract months. These are planning figures, not quotes — real rates move with stack, domain and availability.
Why teams nearshore
The point is rarely "cheaper for cheaper's sake" — it is buying senior capacity that would be unaffordable or unhireable locally. Romania and Pakistan both have deep pools of engineers who have shipped at scale.
