PEO vs. In-House Cost Calculator

Common questions

How much does a PEO cost?

PEO costs vary by provider, employee census, locations, benefits, and contract terms. Use a current written quote that separates administrative fees, insurance costs, and other charges.

What are alternatives to a PEO?

Options may include an HR platform, internal operations, outside People Operations support, or a combination. Compare the responsibilities, benefits, locations, ownership, and current written costs that apply to your company.

When does a PEO stop making financial sense?

There is no universal headcount cutoff. Compare current provider costs and services with the internal ownership, systems, benefits, and outside support your organization needs.

What does People Operations cost compared to a PEO?

Embedded People Operations starts at $3,500+/month, while a People Foundation Build starts at $4,500+/project. The right comparison depends on the infrastructure and operating ownership your company requires.
