  "name": "Senior software developer monthly cost by country",
  "description": "Typical monthly cost of one senior software developer, all in, as a company pays it — not take-home pay. Ordered by price. Two countries cost less than Brazil, which is what we sell, and the data says so.",

  "source_page": "https://hirebrazildevs.com/developer-rates-by-country",
  "currency": "USD",
  "unit": "month, per engineer, all-inclusive",
  "methodology": "Each range is the figure published on this site’s country comparison page for that country, kept in one place so the pages cannot disagree. Ranges are market observations, not quotes: a scarce stack sits at the top of a range and a generalist at the bottom. The U.S. row is a fully loaded employee (salary plus payroll tax, benefits and insurance), not a contractor rate.",
  "caveat": "Published by a vendor that sells Brazilian engineers. Read it knowing that — and note the ordering puts two countries above us.",
