Savings Drivers

What drives PEO savings

Your savings don't come from a single lever. They come from several forces working together — the reason outcomes vary so widely between providers and industries.

  1. Benefits purchasing power

    PEOs negotiate at scale, which can unlock plan options and pricing many small businesses can't access alone.

  2. Risk pooling for workers' comp

    Centralized risk management, claims support, and safety programs can reduce losses, and sometimes lower effective rates.

  3. HR automation & compliance

    Payroll, tax filing, onboarding, handbook, E-Verify, and multistate compliance workflows reduce manual work and errors.

  4. Fewer vendor silos

    Bundling payroll, benefits, and HR into one platform cuts duplicate tools, third-party markups, and integration hassles.

  5. Negotiation leverage

    Bids compete. With clean data and a clear spec, many employers see better offers from multiple PEOs.

Common Questions

PEO Savings Calculator — FAQs

How accurate is this PEO savings calculator?

It's a directional estimate based on national averages. Your actual results depend on headcount, industry, states, plan choices, and current costs.

Do these figures include health insurance premiums?

The calculator models savings from benefits purchasing power, not your final premium. Quotes will show exact plans and prices.

What PEO admin fee do you assume?

A typical midpoint per-employee monthly fee. Providers may price PEPM or as a percent of payroll—your quotes will specify the model.

Will my SUTA always go down with a PEO?

Not always. SUTA depends on state wage bases and experience ratings. Some employers see meaningful savings; others see little change.

Can I negotiate PEO pricing?

Often, yes. Competing quotes, clear requirements, and clean census/payroll data help you negotiate both admin fees and benefit options.

How do I get exact numbers for my company?
