PEO pricing follows two main models:

Percentage of payroll: Typically 2-12% of gross payroll, with most businesses paying 3-8%. Smaller companies usually see higher percentages.

Per-employee-per-month (PEPM): $40-$200+ per employee monthly, varying based on:

  • Your employee count (more employees = lower per-employee rates)
  • Services you need
  • Your industry and risk profile
  • Your location
  • Benefits selections

Real-world examples:

  • A 10-employee company with $500K annual payroll: $15,000-$40,000 annually in PEO fees
  • A 50-employee company with $2.5M annual payroll: $75,000-$150,000 annually in PEO fees
  • Important: These fees cover PEO services only. The actual cost of benefits (health insurance premiums, etc.) is additional and passed through at the rates the PEO secures.
