How much will a new hire's benefits cost?

If your benefits are managed by Gusto and you have a new employee joining your team, you can estimate their monthly benefits cost from your Gusto admin account.

1. Sign in to Gusto.
2. Click the Benefits section.
3. Click Estimate new employee cost.  
4. Enter the employee’s personal information:
   • First name
   • Last name
   • Birthday
5. Click Get Estimate.

We'll estimate the employee’s monthly premium cost based on their date of birth. The summary provides a range of monthly premium costs based on the various benefits and plans you offer and whether the employee has dependents.

If you’d like to see the premiums of each plan, click Download Cost Breakdown (PDF). The PDF includes the employee, spouse, and child costs for each plan that you offer.

Assumptions and methodology: Estimated costs are used for illustrative purposes only—actual costs will vary. The estimated cost assumes that any child dependent is younger than 18 and any spouse is the same age as the employee.
