Understand the result

Method & assumptions

Sum employer amounts for each benefit using its own billing population. PEPM divides period expense by population × months. Employee deductions are excluded.

Hypothetical worked example

20 participants × $500 × 12 = $120,000 recurring expense; $1,000 setup gives $121,000 first-period expense.

Scope and limitations

  • User-entered planning assumptions, not verified market data or a professional determination.
  • Enter only the employer-paid portion, not total premiums plus the employer share. Monthly rates and average populations are held constant.
