If you pay 10 employees $1,000/week before taxes
And every employee pays 25% income tax and pays $60 per week for their benefits in pretax payroll deductions
All at little to no cost to your business-just by allowing your employees to pay their premiums with pretax dollars.
Companies choose to make Aflac policies available to increase benefits options without impacting their bottom line.
1 Based on a 25% income tax rate on $1,000/week gross payroll, employees would have $705 net pendable income with a $60 pretax benefits contribution, a $15 weekly savings compared with $690 with no pretax benefits contribution. Over 52 weeks, that totals $780 for a year.
2 Based on 10 employees earning $1,000/week gross payroll and a 7.65% FICA employer tax rate, employers whose employees elect $60 weekly in pretax benefits contributions would have $488,800 in taxable payroll ($37,393 tax burden), compared with $520,000 ($39,780 tax burden) for employers whose employees did not elect pretax benefits contributions.
