Outsourcing vs In-house Developers - Real Cost Comparison and Benefits of Having a Dedicated Software Team in Poland - Pt 2
In the previous "Software Development Insights" issue, I compared the costs of hiring and employing a single senior backend software developer in New York and Poland. Today it's my turn to elaborate on hiring an entire team of developers.
New York-based team vs Poland outsourced team Cost Comparison
Now, let's compare the prices of a full New York-based team supporting a project for three years with those of an offshore dedicated team of 10 engineers based in Poland.
A full team of developers in New York, 10 software developers:
New York Annual Cost per Developer: 170,887.61 USD
New York Monthly Cost per Developer: 14,240.63 USD
Costs:
A full team of developers in Poland, 10 software developers:
Poland Monthly Cost per Developer (in USD): 10,322.48 USD
Costs:
Comparison:
The total costs of having a dedicated/outsourced team of ten developers in Poland for the given time frames are approximately 27.76% lower than in New York.
The numbers above demonstrate mathematically that collaborating with Poland can result in significant financial savings. Our prior research showed that compared to New York, the cost of hiring a software developer in Poland was almost 28% lower. Since your firm will save money in this area, it can put those savings towards growing the business in other ways, like advertising and R&D.
Additional benefits of a dedicated team in Poland
However, it's not just the Maths. There are several additional benefits of creating a dedicated team with a technology partner in Poland:
