EOR FX markup in Hong Kong
Employees in Hong Kong are paid in HKD. If your Employer of Record bills you in another currency, every payroll line is converted, and the rate it uses is rarely the real mid-market rate. Upload an invoice and see what the gap is costing you.
How much FX markup is my EOR charging on Hong Kong payroll?
On every cross-border line, the provider converts HKD pay and bills you the result at a rate usually a few percent worse than the real mid-market rate. Industry analysis puts the gap at 1.5 to 3 percent of converted pay, collected inside the bundled total rather than itemised. Upload your invoice below to see the figure for your Hong Kong team.
What is Undisclosed FX markup?
The difference between the exchange rate an Employer of Record applies when converting HKD payroll to your billing currency and the real mid-market rate at the time. It is collected inside the bundled invoice total rather than shown as a separate line. Teamed bills the EOR fee flat in the client's chosen currency with a contractual zero-FX-margin guarantee and the mid-market reference rate timestamped on every line.

Does an EOR charge FX markup on Hong Kong payroll?
Almost always, and rarely as a visible line. An employee in Hong Kong is paid in HKD. If your company is billed in a different currency, every payroll line is converted, and most providers apply a rate a few percent worse than the real mid-market rate. The gap, usually 1.5 to 3 percent of converted pay, is collected inside the bundled invoice total. Upload an invoice above to see the figure for your own team.How do I check the FX rate on my Hong Kong invoice?
Take the HKD total and the billed total for the Hong Kong line. The billed total divided by the local total is the rate your provider actually applied. Compare it against the mid-market rate for the invoice date. The calculator above does both steps and shows the undisclosed cost. Teamed publishes the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every cross-border line, so there is nothing to reverse-engineer.
