Founders scaling DTC and eCommerce brands often hit the same wall:
That’s when the real question comes up: “What does an eCommerce email designer actually cost in LATAM or Europe once I include everything, not just salary?”
This guide is built to answer exactly that.
Here’s what we’re seeing right now in the market:
At first glance, LATAM and EU salaries look like a no-brainer.
In 2025, the smartest founders aren’t asking: “How much is an email designer’s salary in LATAM or EU?”
They’re asking: “What’s the total cost of ownership, and how fast can this hire pay for themselves?”
When you calculate TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and hire the right way, you protect margin, scale faster, and build a team that compounds without you micromanaging every deliverable.
The total cost of hiring an email designer includes:
Agencies and platforms often insert ongoing markups; some competitors charge a percentage of wage or flat per-head fees, which compounds total cost.
Most founders price a role by salary. Smart ones price a role by Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and that’s where remote hiring in LATAM & Europe consistently wins on margin and performance.
Here’s a simple formula you can use: Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) = Salary + Extra Month + Employer Contributions + Platform Fees + Ramp Costs
When you run the cost calculator, the key takeaway is simple: hiring an eCommerce email designer in LATAM or the EU is still the smartest move for founders in 2025. Hiring in LATAM or Europe comes in 50–60% more affordable than a U.S. hire, without sacrificing quality.
