Lano Pricing

Lano’s pricing page lists EOR from €499 per employee per month, while some third-party sources report €550-600. Both figures are technically correct, and neither tells you what your Finance team will actually reconcile.

For a wider view of EOR pricing beyond this one platform, our Lano alternatives comparison lines the providers up side by side.

Your real monthly cost per employee includes employer taxes (20-45% of salary depending on country), a deposit requirement that Lano does not publish on its pricing page, and FX costs on cross-currency payroll runs.

The €499 headline is roughly 5-7% of your total monthly employment cost for a mid-salary European hire.

The rest is pass-through, and it is the rest that determines whether your business case works.

We reviewed every published cost component, modelled a worked scenario, and compared Lano against six other providers reviewed here.

This page gives you the numbers to build a realistic budget for Lano, not the number from the sales deck.

What does Lano charge?

Lano publishes four core products with per-employee or per-contractor pricing. EOR starts from €499/employee/month, though third-party sources consistently report €550-600 as the typical quoted rate. Contractor management is cheap at €19-20/contractor/month.

The table below covers every published line item.

The gap between the €499 starting price and the €550-600 that most buyers report in reviews is worth flagging to your procurement team. Starting prices often apply to specific countries or volume commitments.

Ask for country-specific pricing during your scoping call.

Lano does not charge setup fees for EOR or contractor management. Multi-country payroll solutions can carry a configuration cost per payroll provider, but Lano does not publish a fixed setup fee, so confirm it for your countries.

If you are consolidating payroll across five countries, budget €5,000-10,000 upfront for implementation.

What does the Lano fee include?

The EOR fee covers compliant employment through a local partner entity, employment contracts drafted to local standards, payroll processing, statutory benefits administration, tax withholding and filing, onboarding and offboarding, and platform access.

Lano processes local-currency payments at no additional charge through its integrated payments system.

That inclusion list is competitive with providers charging €100-150 more per month. The flat-rate structure means no per-payroll-run charges and no separate administration fees for statutory benefits.

Lano’s contractor management at €19/month includes contract templates, invoicing, compliance checks, and payment processing.

For companies running a mixed workforce of employees and contractors, the contractor price point is one of the lowest in the market.

The payroll consolidation product at €3/employee/month deserves particular attention if you already have local entities. You keep your existing local payroll vendors and Lano acts as the aggregation layer.

For Finance teams managing 5+ country payrolls through separate systems, it can eliminate hours of monthly reconciliation work.

What costs sit on top of Lano’s fees?

The platform fee is not your total cost. Every item below sits on top of the published price and most of them will not come up until you are deep in procurement.

Employer taxes and social contributions. These are country-specific pass-through costs, not Lano charges, but they are the largest variable in your invoice.

In Germany, employer contributions add roughly 21.3% on top of gross salary, the employer share only. The 40% you will see quoted is the combined employer and employee rate.

In France, about 45%. In the Netherlands, about 17%. In the UK, employer NICs add 15%.

Your Finance team needs these numbers before signing, not after.

Deposit requirements. Lano does not publish deposit details on its pricing page. Many EOR providers require some form of refundable deposit, quoted by country, so confirm whether Lano does and at what level during your scoping call.

Depending on Lano’s terms, a deposit can tie up meaningful capital for a 10-person team. That is a conversation with your CFO that needs to happen before contract signature.

FX costs. Lano offers free local-currency payments. When your funding currency differs from the payout currency, FX conversion applies.

Lano’s Wallet feature reduces bank fees for multi-currency transfers, but the FX spread itself is not published.

Ask for the exact markup during procurement; Lano does not publish it.

Over 12 months, for a 15-person team with average monthly salary disbursements of €120,000, even a 1% FX spread adds €14,400 per year. That number will not appear on any pricing page.

Multi-country payroll setup. Lano may quote a one-time configuration cost for multi-country payroll; it does not publish a setup fee, so confirm whether one applies.

This is a one-time cost but can add up quickly if you are onboarding payroll across multiple countries simultaneously.

SWIFT transfer fees. €25 per transaction for payments processed outside supported local payment rails. If you are paying employees in countries without local payment infrastructure, these fees recur monthly.

How does Lano compare on price?

At €499-600/month, Lano sits in the mid-range of the EOR market. It undercuts Deel and Remote at $699 (~€550) and and sits below Multiplier at $459 (~€425).

The table below shows where Lano lands against the providers your procurement team is most likely comparing.

Lano’s contractor management pricing is the standout comparison point. At €19-20/month, it costs less than half of Deel’s $49 and undercuts most competitors.

If you manage 50+ contractors alongside a smaller EOR team, that difference adds up to thousands per year.

The main limitation is the entity model. Lano states it employs through a partner network rather than owned entities, so confirm the legal employer for each country.

Remote markets an owned-entity model (provider-stated), while Deel uses a mix.

The partner model means Lano never directly employs your people.

For most buyers, this is invisible operationally. For Legal teams that want a single counterparty with direct employment liability, it is a material concern worth raising during evaluation.

For a team of 20 EOR employees, choosing Lano over Deel saves approximately €12,000-24,000 per year at headline rates. Choosing Remofirst saves approximately €76,000.

Those savings come with trade-offs in platform maturity, entity ownership, and product breadth that your evaluation needs to weigh.

Is Lano worth the cost?

Lano is worth the cost when your needs align with its specific strengths: European compliance, payroll consolidation, and a mixed workforce of employees and contractors across multiple countries.

If you are a European company managing 30 contractors and 10 EOR employees across the EU, Lano’s pricing structure works in your favour. The contractor management at €19/month saves you €7,800/year versus Deel’s $49/month for the same 30 contractors.

Add the payroll consolidation layer for your existing entities at €3/employee/month, and you have a genuinely differentiated cost structure.

Lano is not worth the cost when you need platform scale, a mobile app, or owned-entity assurance. If you are hiring 50+ employees across Asia, LATAM, and EMEA, you will find Deel or Remote offer deeper infrastructure.

If your Legal team requires owned-entity employment rather than a partner network, Lano cannot provide that at any price point.

The question for your Finance team is straightforward. Map your contractor headcount, EOR headcount, and existing entity payrolls.

Calculate the total cost across all three on Lano versus a bundled platform like Deel.

If Lano’s modular approach costs less for your specific workforce mix, the business case is strong.

If your workforce skews heavily toward EOR with few contractors and no existing entities, a platform with lower EOR rates or stronger owned-entity infrastructure may serve you better.

This review drew on Lano’s public pricing page, help centre documentation, third-party pricing analyses from RemotePeople and EmployerRecords, and provider review data from G2 and Capterra (2025-2026).

We modelled cost scenarios using published rates and estimated pass-through costs based on country-specific employer tax data for Germany.

Lano was not tested as a live product for this pricing analysis. Cost estimates are based on published information and may differ from negotiated pricing.

Deposit terms and FX spreads were not published at the time of review; industry-standard ranges are shown where Lano-specific data was unavailable.
