Managed Payroll for 50-Employee Businesses
Managed payroll at $25-$45 PEPM all-inclusive makes financial sense across a wide range of business sizes. The ROI is strongest when compared to the real alternative: a fully loaded in-house hire.
Managed Payroll Cost at Different Employee Counts
| Employees | Monthly | Annual | vs. In-House |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 employees | $250-$450 | $3K-$5.4K | Save $55K-$100K+/yr |
| 25 employees | $625-$1,125 | $7.5K-$13.5K | Save $47K-$97K+/yr |
| 50 employees | $1,250-$2,250 | $15K-$27K | Save $33K-$85K+/yr |
| 75 employees | $1,875-$3,375 | $22.5K-$40.5K | Save $20K-$70K+/yr |
| 100 employees | $2,500-$4,500 | $30K-$54K | Save $6K-$50K+/yr |
Which Size Sees the Best ROI?
The strongest ROI on managed payroll is in the 10-50 employee range. At this size, you cannot justify a full-time in-house hire (nor the payroll software license, training, and single-point-of-failure risk), but the compliance requirements are already complex enough to warrant specialist handling.
At 50-100 employees, some businesses begin considering a hybrid model: an HR generalist for employee relations and managed payroll for the compliance-heavy processing function.
