Pricing models explained
- Percentage of payroll. A fee set as a percentage of gross payroll. It is simple to quote and rises automatically as wages grow.
- Per employee per month. A flat monthly amount for each employee. It is predictable but can look expensive for low-wage teams.
- Bundled with benefits. The administrative fee is partly folded into benefit premiums. This makes comparison harder, so ask for an itemized breakdown.
- Custom quote. Larger or higher-risk employers are quoted based on payroll, industry and claims history.
