How it works

1

A pre-tax deduction lowers taxable wages.

A fixed pre-tax deduction is applied to each participating employee's paycheck, so FICA (still 7.65%) is calculated on a smaller amount.

2

Your company pays less FICA.

The savings show up every time you run payroll. On bi-weekly payroll, that's about $46 per full-time employee per payroll.

3

The tax savings fund the benefits.

Employees' tax savings help pay for their participation and cover the program fees, so there are no out-of-pocket costs for the employer or employees.

*Benefit availability and tax treatment are subject to employee eligibility, participation status, and applicable federal regulations. Not all employees will qualify for all benefits described. Benefits, contribution amounts, and coverage features may vary based on payroll structure, employment classification, hours worked, and plan administration.
