Mongolia EOR cost guide
Mongolia EOR Cost: What You Pay Each Month
The three parts of a Mongolia EOR bill
1. Salary
2. Employer social insurance
3. The EOR service fee
NNRoad charges a monthly service fee for each employee. We quote it after reviewing the role, and the proposal shows it on its own line, separate from the employment cost.
Employer social insurance in 2026
Employer social and health insurance contributions are a recurring cost on top of gross salary. The employer remits both its own contribution and the employee’s contribution, deducting the latter from pay. A complete budget should also account for statutory leave, overtime or other premiums, and termination payments where applicable.
| Contribution | Employer | Employee |
|---|---|---|
| Pension insurance | 8.5% | 8.5% |
| Benefits insurance | 1.0% | 0.8% |
| Health insurance | 2.0% | 2.0% |
| Unemployment insurance | 0.5% | 0.2% |
| Industrial accident and occupational disease insurance | 0.5%, 1.5% or 2.5% | None |
| Total | 12.5% to 14.5% | 11.5% |
Rates for 2026. The employer’s rate depends on the occupational risk class of the job. The employee’s contribution is capped at MNT 910,800 a month. Sources: Invest Mongolia, PwC Worldwide Tax Summaries.
Three details that change the number
- The risk class. The accident insurance part is 0.5%, 1.5% or 2.5% depending on the job, which is why the employer total runs from 12.5% to 14.5%.
- The employee cap. The employee’s 11.5% stops at MNT 910,800 a month, reached at a salary of MNT 7,920,000. The employer’s share has no cap in 2026.
- Income tax is not an employer cost. It is deducted from the employee’s pay: 10% on annual taxable income up to MNT 120 million, 15% up to MNT 180 million and 20% above. PwC
