Small but increasingly skilled workforce; Kigali positioned as a regional services hub. Employer on-costs run ~8% on top of gross salary. Here is what to know before your first Rwanda hire.
Employment in Rwanda runs under its national labour code, which sets the floor for wages, working hours, leave, and notice. Here are the essentials before you make an offer.
Employer on-costs in Rwanda run ~8% of gross salary. Employers pay 6% pension, 0.3% maternity and 2% occupational-hazard contributions to RSSB.
These statutory costs are paid at cost on top of TGTC's flat $499/mo fee, so you always see the real employer cost, not a marked-up percentage.
Employees pay their own income tax and social-security share, withheld at source. Under an EOR, TGTC runs that payroll withholding for you.
*All figures are estimates from public sources (2025-26), pending ops verification - same basis as the EOR cost calculator. Not tax or legal advice.
TGTC employs your hire in Rwanda on a compliant local contract, runs payroll and benefits, and passes statutory costs through at cost. One invoice, flat $499 per month.
