Here's Exactly How This Works

If you have ever wondered what Section 125 actually is and why it matters, here it is in plain English.

01

The IRS lets you pay benefits before taxes hit.

Instead of paying your employee $1,000 and then the government taking their cut, you set aside money for benefits first. The government only taxes what is left. Less taxable income. Less taxes for everyone.

02

You save money on every single payroll run.

As the employer you pay 7.65% tax on every dollar of wages. When taxable wages drop, that 7.65% applies to a smaller number. On 100 employees that adds up to over $100,000 a year - repeated every payroll cycle automatically.

03

Your employees actually take home more money.

Their taxes drop too. Most employees net an extra $100+ per month in take-home pay after the plan deduction, tax savings, and benefit credit. Their paycheck goes up. That is why 70%+ say yes when you explain it to them.

04

We do everything. You just say yes.

No new software. No payroll system changes. No new hires. Your HR team spends less than two hours on the entire setup. We handle plan documents, compliance, enrollment, and ongoing administration. You collect the savings.

The bottom line: This money exists in the tax code right now. Most employers never claim it because nobody walked them through it. One 15-minute call changes that.

The Mechanism

How Section 125 Reduces
Your Payroll Tax Liability

Under IRS Section 125, employees elect a qualifying pre-tax benefit. That election reduces their taxable wages - which in turn reduces the FICA taxes your company owes as the employer.

  • Net take-home pay increases - FICA and income tax savings combined with the plan benefit credit exceed the employee contribution cost.
  • Workers compensation, unemployment, and 401k matching are not negatively impacted by enrollment.
  • Savings are captured on every payroll run - weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly - not as a single annual event.
  • The program is cash-flow positive from day one - the $40/month admin fee is fully offset by $91.42/month in FICA savings per enrolled employee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Employers Ask
Before Enrolling

Is Section 125 legal and IRS compliant?
Yes. Internal Revenue Code Section 125 has been federal law since 1978. It is the same provision used by the largest employers in the United States. Every plan document and enrollment procedure implemented under this program maintains full IRS and ACA compliance.
What is the actual cost to the employer?
There is no upfront cost. Program administration is funded through a flat $40 per enrolled employee per month, which is fully offset by the $91.42 per month in FICA savings generated per employee. The net result is a $51.42 per employee per month improvement in the employer's payroll tax position from the first cycle.
Will this affect workers compensation, unemployment, or 401k?
No. Workers compensation premiums, unemployment insurance calculations, and 401k matching formulas are not negatively affected by enrollment. Employees experience a reduction in taxable wages, which is the mechanism that generates the FICA savings for both parties.
How much HR involvement is required?
Minimal. Your HR team will review and sign Section 125 plan documents and communicate the enrollment option to employees. All plan administration, compliance coordination, payroll system integration, and ongoing management are handled by the program team. Most employers report fewer than two hours of internal time invested in implementation.
Is employee participation mandatory?
Participation is entirely voluntary. Employees who elect enrollment see their net take-home pay increase because the combined FICA and income tax savings plus the plan benefit credit exceed the plan cost. Historically, 70% or more of employees choose to participate once the economics are explained.
Which payroll platforms are supported?
All major payroll platforms are supported: ADP, Paychex, Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, Rippling, Paylocity, Bamboo HR, Patriot, and others. There is no requirement to change payroll providers and no technical changes to your current infrastructure.
