Description
How it works
Simple setup, fully supported.
How everyone saves
Pre-tax premium deductions reduce taxable wages.
Employees
Lower federal income tax, lower state and local income tax where applicable, and in most cases lower Social Security and Medicare tax. Take-home pay goes up without a raise.
The church
Lower taxable payroll means lower employer Social Security and Medicare taxes, and in some cases lower federal and state unemployment taxes.
Often pays for itself
Depending on state law, workers’ compensation premiums may also go down. Savings often offset or exceed the cost of the plan.
