Payroll in Nepal
Payroll in Nepal runs in NPR (Nepalese rupee). Monthly payroll cycle is standard practice, aligned with the Nepali fiscal calendar (Shrawan-to-Ashad year). A statutory annual bonus is mandated under the Bonus Act, generally calculated as a percentage of net profit distributed among employees, separate from any performance-based bonus. Statutory employer contributions apply. Gracemark operates it end-to-end, humans, not tickets.
Two ways to run payroll in Nepal
Own-entity payroll
For long-term presence in Nepal. Gracemark manages statutory filings, pay runs, and year-end reporting under your entity, with a named operator on Southern Asia time.
EOR-run payroll
No entity in Nepal? Employ and pay talent under Gracemark's local infrastructure via EOR, onboard in typically 1–3 weeks via eor, no local incorporation.
