Pricing & Engagement Models

Transparent structures and indicative ranges — including India payroll and statutory compliance — so you can see quickly whether Sevendyne fits before a scoping call.

All figures are indicative ranges in INR (or USD bands for software projects) so you can budget before a call — not a binding quote.

Why we show pricing (instead of hiding it)

For B2B compliance and workforce services, clear ranges help everyone. Serious buyers want to know order‑of‑magnitude before a 45‑minute call. Publishing bands (not fake precision) filters out poor fits early and builds trust. We do not list fake “from ₹99” prices or lock‑in traps — final fees are confirmed after headcount, entity, states, and scope.

When hiding prices hurts: international finance teams compare vendors on total cost of ownership; if they see nothing, many assume you are expensive or not serious.

What we avoid: pretending one number fits every company. That is why this page uses ranges and says what moves the number (team size, GST states, EOR %, seniority).

At a glance — indicative monthly fees (India services)

Salaries and statutory pass‑throughs (employee gross, government challans) are not Sevendyne’s fee — they are yours. The table below is our management / service fee bands.

Offering Typical fee pattern (INR) Best for
Basic Payroll From about ₹10,000 / month for small teams (often up to ~10 staff); per‑head add‑ons above that. India entity with straightforward monthly payroll.
HR Ops + Payroll From about ₹25,000 / month for smaller teams; scales with headcount and HR depth. Onboarding, attendance, exits, records — not just payslips.
EOR / Global workforce Usually 5–15% of gross monthly payroll (smaller high‑touch teams → higher %). Foreign companies hiring in India without their own entity.
Dedicated teams (international billing) Indicative USD all‑in bands per person / month by client region (see section 3) + a flat monthly retainer per engagement. EOR‑style or dedicated India talent; priced for where your company is based.
Statutory compliance add‑on Light bundle ₹8k–₹18k / month; fuller entity bundle often ₹18k–₹45k / month (varies widely). GST, TDS, PF/ESIC, PT, books — alongside payroll.

Software projects (MVP, integrations) are quoted in USD‑equivalent bands further down — see sections below.

1. Payroll, HR Operations & Employer of Record (EOR)

Our core recurring model — Indian and foreign companies that want payroll and people operations off their plate. Workforce tiers explained →

Tier What you pay Sevendyne (indicative) What you still fund directly
Basic Payroll From ~₹10,000/mo (small teams, often ≤~10 employees); then per‑head or stepped pricing. Employee gross salaries, PF/ESIC employer share, taxes — we calculate and coordinate; funds flow per agreed process.
HR + Payroll From ~₹25,000/mo for smaller teams; increases with headcount and HR touchpoints. Same as payroll; plus we own onboarding, attendance, leave, exits, records.
EOR / Global workforce Typically 5–15% of gross monthly payroll as Sevendyne’s fee (model‑dependent). Salaries and statutory costs remain your economic burden; we employ in India where the model requires.

Engagement model (short)

  • Basic Payroll — monthly salary run, payslips, TDS/PF/ESIC/PT coordination, CA handoff.
  • HR Operations & Payroll — everything above plus HR ops (onboarding, attendance, exits, files).
  • EOR — Sevendyne as legal employer in India where applicable; you run product day‑to‑day.

GST / full books / MCA are usually scoped under India compliance or bundled after discovery — not silently folded into “payroll” unless we agreed it.

2. India Statutory Compliance & Filings

Add‑on to payroll / EOR or bundled for India entities — GST, TDS, PF/ESIC, PT, MCA timelines, and clean books in Zoho. Full compliance scope →

Bundle (Sevendyne service fee) Typical range (INR / month) Notes
Light — payroll‑heavy, fewer filings ₹8,000 – ₹18,000 + payroll tier fee Fewer GST lines / simpler TDS; not “no compliance”.
Standard entity — GST + TDS + PF/ESIC + PT + monthly books ₹18,000 – ₹45,000 + payroll tier fee Many SMEs land here; multi‑state / high volume → higher.
MCA / annual Annual quote (not always monthly) Forms 8, 11, AOC‑4, etc. — coordinated with your CS/auditor.

What is included

  • GST — GSTR‑1 / GSTR‑3B cycles aligned to your registration and turnover.
  • TDS — salary (24Q) and vendor (26Q) flows tied to actual payments.
  • PF & ESIC — monthly challans and returns for eligible employees.
  • Professional Tax — state registration and deductions.
  • MCA / ROC — annual filing support (e.g. AOC‑4, Forms 8 & 11) with your CS/auditor as required.
  • Books & ITR — Zoho Books hygiene; ITR support for LLP/Pvt Ltd with your CA.

Indicative fee pattern (not a fixed menu)

  • Light compliance bundle (payroll‑heavy, few filings)
    Often in the range of ₹8,000–₹18,000/month on top of base payroll fees for small teams, depending on states and volume of transactions.
  • Standard India entity bundle (GST + TDS + PF/ESIC + PT + monthly books)
    Typically ₹18,000–₹45,000/month indicative for many SME‑sized setups; complex multi‑state or high‑transaction businesses trend higher.
  • MCA / annual compliance
    Often scoped as a separate annual fee or milestone billing in coordination with your CS — we quote after entity review.

These bands help CFOs and founders sanity‑check budget. The exact retainer depends on entity type, headcount, states, transaction volume, and how much is already automated in Zoho. We confirm numbers after a short discovery call — no surprises on scope.

3. Dedicated Developers, EOR & Global Team Building

Sevendyne's core model is HR + payroll + compliance operations first, then team building under the same delivery framework.

How we price team building for client projects

For international EOR/team-building engagements, Sevendyne usually starts from 5–15% commission per employee gross monthly salary, depending on team size, role mix, and HR/compliance load.

This engagement includes complete HR operations (onboarding, attendance, exits, records), payroll execution, and day-to-day compliance coordination. If you need accounts/books/MCA support, that scope is bundled separately under compliance.

If you share role requirements and headcount, we will send a simple working proposal within 24 hours.

Why clients choose this model

Dedicated people are not shared across clients. You direct delivery; Sevendyne employs and runs India-side HR, payroll, compliance, and reporting.

4. Startup MVP Development

Fixed timeframe (often 8–16 weeks), narrow scope, production‑quality slice of your product.

Typical investment (USD equivalent)

  • Most MVPs we take on: typically about USD 12,000–25,000 all‑in (often described as a modest five‑figure), usually over 2–4 months.
  • Tiny POCs may be lower if scope is intentionally minimal (e.g. one workflow on Zoho).

5. Project‑Based Software Development

Modules, integrations, migrations — scoped milestones, iterative delivery.

Typical investment (USD equivalent)

  • Focused integrations / dashboards — often from about USD 10,000 upward for well‑bounded work.
  • Multi‑month products — often USD 25,000–60,000+ depending on stack, integrations, and risk.

No per‑screen menu — we scope, then fix or milestone‑price.

Frequently asked questions

Are these prices final quotes?

No — they are indicative ranges. We confirm exact fees after headcount, entity, states, and full scope (including GST/books/MCA).

What is not included in Sevendyne’s fee?

Salaries and statutory pass-throughs (employer PF/ESIC, taxes, challans) are yours. We charge for running payroll, HR, and agreed compliance workflows.

Why is EOR often a % of gross payroll?

Risk and operational load usually scale with payroll size and complexity. Percentages are common in the industry; we explain the model on a short call.

Why publish ranges at all?

So finance and ops can sanity-check budget before a long sales process. See why we publish ranges above.

India payroll vs international dedicated teams — which numbers apply?

INR tiers and EOR % of payroll describe India‑entity payroll and standard EOR on Indian compensation. If your HQ is abroad and you want dedicated India talent with billing in USD (or GBP/EUR/AUD), use the geography tier table in section 3 — we still confirm everything in writing after discovery.
