Straight answers to the questions that come up before you commit — what it costs, which model fits, and how a team actually gets built.
Every guide opens with the answer, then shows the working behind it — and where rates come into it, they are the same ones that drive our cost calculator. Written to be read in a few minutes, or quoted in one line.
A dedicated senior developer in Serbia through Jezda starts from €3,800 per month, a mid-level developer from €2,800, and a junior from €1,800 — covering salary, employer taxes, recruitment, bookkeeping and our service fee, with office and equipment quoted separately. That is roughly 58% below the equivalent employment cost in Germany, with full CET-timezone overlap and no entity of your own to set up.
Read the guideTeam extension gives you developers employed by a local partner but managed entirely by you, day to day. Staff augmentation and classic outsourcing hand both employment and management to the vendor — outsourcing goes furthest, taking the whole deliverable. A subsidiary means you own the local entity and employ the team directly. The right model depends on how much control and long-term commitment you want, not on price alone.
Read the guideBuilding a dedicated team in Serbia takes about 2–4 weeks from kickoff to a live first hire, in five steps: define the team plan, source and interview candidates, employ them locally (via team extension or your own entity), onboard them into your workflow, and scale by adding roles as you grow. You keep full day-to-day control; a local partner handles employment, payroll, and compliance.
