AI-Powered Staff Cost Calculator

Job ID: 39413521

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

We are looking for a full-stack developer (or small team) to build an AI-powered staff cost calculator using Next.js. The goal is to help businesses compare the cost of hiring offshore staff versus local hires in markets like the US, Australia, and Europe. The tool will function as both a lead generation funnel and a conversion point for our Employer of Record (EOR) services.

The tool should do the following:

Let users input multiple job titles using free text

Allow users to specify quantity and experience level for each role

Use AI (like OpenAI) to map the job title to a standardized role

Pull or estimate salaries across different countries

Compare costs between four offshore markets (Philippines, Vietnam, Colombia, Mexico) and five onshore markets (USA, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and Europe)

Apply cost layers such as:

$400 per month per employee for our EOR service fee

Optional 18 percent one-time recruitment fee (can be toggled on or off and waived if they check out)

Optional $150 per month hot desk

Optional $400 per month office space

User flow should work as follows:

The user enters job titles, quantities, and experience levels

The user clicks a button to calculate

Before seeing the results, they are prompted to enter contact details including name, email, company name, and optionally website

Once they submit the form, they can view results and we should receive all their inputs including job roles, quantities, experience levels, source and comparison countries, and timestamp

The results screen should show:

Monthly and annual total cost for each role and geography

Total cost savings in both dollars and percentage

A call to action to check out and start hiring today

If they proceed, they get free recruitment and only pay the monthly fee

Checkout can use Stripe or a similar payment integration

Technology requirements:

Frontend built with Next.js

Styling using Tailwind CSS or similar

AI integration using OpenAI API or equivalent for job mapping and fallback salary estimation

Salary data can come from APIs like Talent.com, scraping sources like Glassdoor or JobStreet, or a CSV upload fallback

Form data should be sent to our email, webhook, or CRM like HubSpot or Zapier

Hosting on Vercel is preferred

Deliverables include:

Fully working and responsive web app

Source code via GitHub

Live deployment

Working form submission

AI salary estimation logic with fallback data option

Optional CSV or PDF export of cost summary

Ideal developer:

Has experience building in Next.js and working with APIs

Comfortable with OpenAI or other AI integrations

Has previously built calculators or quote tools

Understands scraping or salary data APIs

Bonus if familiar with EOR, HRTech, or offshore hiring
