PEO Pricing: How Much Does Worksite Cost?
We know you clicked this page for a clear number. You’re busy, so hearing “it depends” can be frustrating. Give us a moment to show you what shapes your price, what will be on your invoice, and how to get a custom quote for your business.
Publishing a Price List Is Easy,
But It Wouldn’t Be Honest.
Here’s the truth: your cost is based on real details like your team size, industry, the benefits you want, and where you do business. If a PEO gives you a flat, one-size-fits-all price, you might pay for things you don’t need or miss out on important coverage you’ll have to pay for later.
Worksite’s pricing helps you in two main ways:
You won’t overpay. Your Worksite quote is built around your business, workforce, and specific needs. You’ll receive clear, competitive pricing designed to provide the services and support that make sense for your organization.
You won’t get caught off guard. Bargain rates can hide missing coverage or surprise fees. Your Worksite quote explains everything up front, so your first invoice has no surprises. We show you what you’re paying for upfront so you can evaluate the real cost of working with Worksite.
Good News: The Quote Itself Is Worth Having
Many business owners are surprised to learn that getting a Worksite quote isn’t just a sales step. It’s actually one of the clearest ways to see what it really costs (in time, money, and headaches) to employ your team.
When we build your quote, we show your actual costs for payroll, taxes, workers’ compensation, benefits, and compliance. Everything is listed line by line and explained clearly. You may find you’re already paying for these things separately with different vendors and often paying more overall.
The consultation is free, and there is absolutely no obligation. You’ll speak directly with a Worksite Business Consultant who understands small businesses, not a chatbot or a call center overseas.
What You'll Actually See on Your Invoice
Transparency is part of how we do business. When you partner with Worksite, your invoice is clearly broken down with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Administration
Worksite’s cost for payroll processing, tax filing, HR support, compliance, and many related services.
Workers’ Compensation
Pay-as-you-go premiums, no deposit and no year-end surprise audits.
Benefits Premiums
The health, dental, retirement, and voluntary coverage you choose, at group rates (only if you select them).
Payroll Taxes
FICA, FUTA, and SUTA, employer payroll tax costs that are separate from Worksite’s administrative fee.
Optional Added Services
Extras like financial services or additional insurance coverage, billed only if you choose them.
Remember: taxes like FICA, FUTA, and SUTA aren’t Worksite fees. Every employer owes these costs, no matter who runs their payroll. FICA and FUTA pass through at cost, while SUTA rates may vary slightly based on state and rating factors. Worksite’s primary service fee is the administrative fee, fully visible up front. We provide unbundled billing, so you’ll always see charges clearly broken out on your rate sheet and never buried or disguised in something else.
What you see is what you get. We believe you should be able to look at your rate sheet and understand what you’re paying for, without hunting for hidden charges or wondering what will show up on your next invoice.
No hidden fees. No fine print. No gotcha charges.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Worksite cost per employee?
There isn’t a single per-employee rate because your cost depends on your team size, industry, benefits, and location. Still, most small and mid-sized businesses find that their total cost, including payroll, HR, workers’ comp, compliance, and benefits, is similar to, or even lower than, what they paid for these services separately. A quick quote will show your exact number.
Is a PEO cheaper than doing HR in-house?
For most small and mid-sized businesses, yes! Once you add up payroll software, workers’ comp, benefits, HR help, compliance tools, and your own time, a PEO often costs less and gives you expertise you couldn’t afford to hire full-time.
Why won’t you just give me a price?
We need a few details about your business to give you an accurate price, and we’d rather be accurate than impressive. A made-up number helps no one. It just sets you up for surprises later. Give us a few minutes, and we’ll give you a real one.
Can I get a ballpark estimate?
We’d rather give you an accurate quote than guess with a ballpark number that might be wrong. The good news is it only takes one short conversation. Call 941-677-0110, and we’ll walk through it together.
What’s not included in the base price?
The benefits premiums you choose to offer are billed at our group rates, and some services are optional add-ons. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included and what’s optional, so nothing is unclear.
What happens if my business grows or shrinks?
Your pricing adjusts as your business changes. If you add or lose team members, your workers’ comp and administrative costs change automatically with your payroll. There’s no need to renegotiate, and there are no surprises.
Are there hidden fees or long-term contracts?
There are no hidden fees. What’s on your rate sheet is what you pay. Worksite contracts are straightforward and flexible. Most clients are on a month-to-month agreement with no long-term commitment required. You can cancel at any time with 30 days’ written notice, and there are no cancellation fees. We believe pricing should be clear from the beginning. Your Worksite rate sheet lays out your costs so you know what you’re paying for, while optional services are identified separately.
