Hire employees in Bulgaria with an Employer of Record

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

The local currency is BGN and the standard payroll cycle is monthly. The official working language is Bulgarian / English, and contracts must comply with Bulgaria employment law.

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

Estimated employer cost on top of gross salary: ~18.9% on top of gross. EOR World handles all calculations, deductions, and statutory filings on your behalf.

Total cost = gross salary + employer contributions (~18.9% on top of gross) + EOR fee starting at $299/month. There are no setup fees, no hidden charges, and no per-country surprises.

• Hire in Bulgaria in days — without registering a local entity (which can take months and cost $15,000+).
• Stay 100% compliant with Bulgaria employment, tax, and labour law.
• Pay employees in BGN on time, every cycle.
• Provide compliant local benefits and a great employee experience.
• Avoid permanent establishment risk and misclassification penalties.
