The short answer

How much do you save hiring offshore in Fiji?

New Zealand and Australian businesses typically save 50–65% per role by building an offshore team in Fiji through PCS, compared with a fully-loaded local hire. For example, a customer service representative costing NZ$55,000–$75,000 locally costs approximately NZ$22,000–$30,000 all-inclusive in Fiji — and unlike the Philippines or India, Fiji runs on virtually the same timezone as NZ and the Australian east coast, with native-English-speaking staff. The calculator above models your exact team using published market salary data.
How the numbers work

Three things the calculator compares

1

Your local cost

The fully-loaded annual salary you'd pay in NZ or AU — pre-filled from market data, fully editable to match what you actually pay.

2

The all-inclusive Fiji rate

What the same role costs through PCS — base salary, workspace, equipment, IT, recruitment, payroll, HR and management, all in one rate.

3

Your real saving

The annual and five-year difference, plus the percentage saved per seat — the number your finance team actually cares about.

Methodology & data sources

Default local salary ranges reflect published market data as of early 2026, including the Hays and Robert Half salary guides, Stats NZ, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Midpoints are used as defaults and can be overridden with your own figures.

The Fiji figure is the all-inclusive PCS rate, which covers:

  • Base salary plus Fiji statutory benefits (FNPF, leave)
  • Dedicated workspace, desk, dual monitors, laptop and headset
  • Enterprise-grade IT infrastructure and ISO 27001:2022 data security
  • Recruitment, onboarding, payroll, HR and ongoing team management

Figures are indicative and rounded; they are a planning guide, not a binding quote. Actual cost depends on role complexity, experience and working hours, confirmed on a discovery call.

How is Fiji different from the Philippines or India?

Fiji runs on UTC+12 — virtually the same timezone as New Zealand and aligned with the Australian east coast — so your team works your hours, not overnight. English is an official language with neutral accents, and PCS is ISO 27001:2022 certified. See our Fiji vs Philippines comparison.
