How it works

Three steps. About thirty seconds.

01

Enter your email

Your company domain tells us who you are — industry, size, home state. We pre-fill the assumptions; you can adjust any of them.

02

We run the rates

FICA, FUTA, your state's unemployment insurance, workers' comp, health, and the PEO fee itself — itemized, with the math visible.

03

Compare side by side

Your costs standalone vs. with a PEO, as a range. If you want the deep version, we'll research your company and send a drafted quote.

The six lines that matter

Every PEO bill is built from the same six costs.

Most calculators hand-wave a single percentage. We track each line separately, against its own published source.

Federal

FICA

Social Security plus Medicare. Fixed by statute — the one line nobody can shop.

SSA / IRS
Federal

FUTA

0.6% net on the first $7,000 per employee — more if your state is on the credit-reduction list.

US DOL
State

SUI

51 jurisdictions, 51 wage bases, 51 rates. The biggest state-to-state swing in your bill.

STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES
State

Workers' comp

Driven by your state and your class-code mix. The largest single lever a good PEO can pull.

Health benefits

The employer share of premiums, by firm size and region — and where PEO master plans earn their keep.

The PEO fee

Per-employee-per-month or percent of payroll. Which model fits depends on how your business grows.
