Pricing reflects fully-loaded monthly per-employee cost in USD (premium + admin + ancillary). Actual quotes vary by team composition, country mix, and underwriting.

What Drives the Variance

Team composition

Age distribution, dependants ratio, contractor vs employee mix all move per-employee cost by 10–25%.

Country mix

US-heavy teams pay 30–50% more than EU/Asia-heavy teams. LatAm-heavy teams pay 10–20% less.

Plan structure

Modular per-employee pricing dramatically more predictable than experience-rated traditional IPMI for teams under 100.

Vendor consolidation

Each unconsolidated vendor adds 5–8% in admin overhead. The first 3 vendors saved typically deliver 15–24% of total cost.
