How much relocation management companies cost

Common pricing models: per relocation, management fee on spend, flat fee, and custom quote. Too few vendors publish comparable list prices for us to give a price range; the models and cost drivers below explain what you will be quoted.

Pricing models explained

  • Per relocation. A management fee charged for each move, sometimes varying by move type such as renter, homeowner or international.
  • Management fee on spend. A fee tied to the relocation spend the provider manages, which should be compared with per-move pricing.
  • Flat fee. Fixed fees for defined services such as lump-sum administration, home sale programs or destination services.
  • Custom quote. Large and international programs are quoted individually, often combining management fees and supplier pricing.

What drives the price

  • Number and type of moves each year
  • Share of homeowners versus renters
  • Home sale program used
  • Temporary housing length and location
  • International moves and destination services
  • Tax gross-ups on taxable benefits

Fees to ask about before you sign:

  • Referral fees and markups built into supplier pricing
  • Home sale losses and carrying costs under buyout programs
  • Gross-up costs on taxable relocation benefits
  • Policy exceptions approved case by case
  • Repayment and clawback administration when employees leave early
