Pricing

A flat fee that does not climb as you grow.

Most pricing in this category is a percentage of payroll, so the bill climbs every time you pay yourself more or add a person. The fee here is flat per person: $150 a month for the full stack, or $75 for compliance only. It is the same number when you net $90,000 and when you net $250,000, the same in month one and in year three.

Both prices are on this page, along with the plan tiers, and you can read all of it before you give us a name.

No cost and no contact for the first result.

01Who this pricing is for

Two cases where a flat fee comes out ahead.

If you sit well below these numbers, the flat fee is harder to justify, and the calculator is built to tell you that early.

A business of one

Nets about $90,000 or more and pays about $500 or more a month for current coverage.

A small team

1 to 25 W-2 employees facing renewal pressure, retention cost, or a growing payroll load.

02The flat fee, in two forms

Flat per person. No percentage of payroll.

The PEO's administrative fee
$150per person / month, full stack
$75per person / month, compliance only

Full stack covers group plan administration, payroll, HR support, compliance, and the rest of the back office. You are on the full stack, because the group plan is the reason to be here. The $75 compliance-only rate is for any W-2 employees you are not putting on benefits but still have to carry on the PEO's payroll. Both are month to month, with no long-term contract, no setup fee, and no percentage taken out of payroll. A solo owner pays for one person. A team of eight pays for eight. When you give yourself a raise or add a hire, the per-person number does not move. You pay it to the PEO, not PEO Broker.

03Why flat per person beats a percentage of payroll

A percentage of payroll is a tax on growth.

A lot of pricing in this category is a percentage of payroll, which industry cost guidance puts at 2 to 12 percent of total payroll (ADP, 2026). The logic is reasonable on its face: a larger payroll usually means more administrative work, so the bill scales with it.

The limit shows up as you grow. A percentage of payroll charges you more every time you pay yourself more or add a person, even when the work behind it has not changed much. The owner who succeeds pays more for the same service, and switching later is a project once you are settled on the platform. A flat per-person fee holds steady: the same $150 at $90,000 of owner pay and at $250,000, and you can forecast next year's whole cost without a spreadsheet. We place clients with a PEO that prices this way for that reason.

04What a group plan costs

Three tiers, priced in the open.

The group plan through our PEO partner is a National Tier 1 PPO, the kind of plan a large employer runs for its people. A lower monthly figure comes with a higher deductible. That is the trade every plan makes, and the calculator runs it against your own numbers.

05The fee is paid out of savings, not added on top

The question was never whether $150 is a lot.

The flat fee only works if the structure underneath it pays for itself, so the calculator is built to show you whether it does, on your own 2026 figures. A large employer buys coverage as one big group, so it gets a better plan at a better price than one person or one small team can. When you join a group like that, the better group price usually more than covers the flat fee. For an owner who clears the line, the fee is paid out of money the old way was costing you, not added on top of it.

The real question is whether getting inside the group saves you more than $150 per person. The calculator answers that on your own 2026 figures, with all three tiers next to your current path. Even near break-even, you still moved payroll, filings, workers comp, and HR off your desk and onto people whose job it is, and you put yourself and your people on a large-group plan instead of buying alone. For most owners who clear the line, the result lands well past break-even.

06How the prices connect, and who runs the plan

Both run through the PEO.

The plan premium and the administrative fee both run through the PEO. The premium runs through payroll; the flat fee covers the back office.

We are not the plan provider. A separate, licensed provider runs the plan. We run the math and connect you. PEO Broker does not charge you for any of it.

07How PEO Broker is paid

You pay the PEO, never PEO Broker.

PEO Broker is a referral partner, paid by the PEO when a client it introduces enrolls, at no added cost to you. That referral fee does not change if you pick Plan A over Plan C, and it does not change if your premium is higher. That matters for one reason: it is why the first result can honestly tell you no. Our pay does not rise with the plan you pick or your premium, so the number you see is the real number, with no pitch waiting behind it.

08Frequently asked questions

Answers, before you ask.

What does the PEO charge?
The PEO's administrative fee is flat: $150 per person per month for the full stack, or $75 per person per month for compliance only. Month to month, no long-term contract, no setup fee, and no percentage of payroll. You pay it to the PEO; PEO Broker does not charge you.
Does the fee go up as I grow?
No. The per-person fee is the same whether you pay yourself $90,000 or $250,000, and the same in month one as in year three. A percentage of payroll, which industry cost guidance puts at 2 to 12 percent of total payroll (ADP, 2026), climbs with your pay and your headcount. A flat per-person fee does not.
Is the plan premium included in the fee?
No. The plan premium and the administrative fee are separate, and both are paid to the PEO. The premium runs through payroll. The flat fee covers payroll, HR, compliance, and benefits administration. For an owner who clears the line, the better group price usually more than offsets the fee.
What do the three plans cost?
Plan A is $879 a month, Plan B is $732, and Plan C is $589, on a National Tier 1 PPO. A lower monthly figure carries a higher deductible. Each tier's deductible, network, and full plan documents are on the coverage page.
Is there a contract or a lock-in?
No. Month to month, no long-term contract. The back office runs on a portable, industry-standard platform you can leave, not proprietary software that traps you. If you want out, you leave, and your data goes with you.
How does PEO Broker make money?
PEO Broker is paid by the PEO, not by you: a referral fee when a client it introduces enrolls, at no added cost to you. The referral fee does not rise with the plan you pick or your premium, which is why the calculator can tell you to stay put when that is the better call.
What does it cost to see my number?
Nothing. The first result costs nothing and asks nothing of you. You only pay the PEO if you decide to enroll, and PEO Broker never charges you.
Is there a PEO cost calculator?
Yes. The calculator at your number runs your own 2026 figures and shows the flat per-person fee against what a group plan would save you, federal and state, line by line. You see the first result with no name, email, or phone, and a 6-digit text code opens the full report, built for your CPA to check. It is built for high-earning solo owners and small teams, not as a generic any-size estimator, and it tells you to stay put when the numbers do not clear the fee.
How do I know whether the fee pays for itself?
You run your own numbers. The question is not whether $150 a person is a lot, it is whether getting inside a large group saves you more than $150 a person. The calculator answers that on your 2026 figures, with all three plan tiers next to your current path. For an owner who clears the line, the better group price usually more than covers the flat fee, so it comes out of savings rather than landing on top. Near or below the line, it says so, and staying put is the better call.
