How It Compares

BEG managed payroll pricing vs. the alternatives

Cost factor	BEG Managed Payroll	In-House Manager	Self-Service Software	PEO
Monthly cost (50 employees)	$2,250 total	$6,500-$9,000+ all-in	$300-$700 + your time	$7,500-$10,000+
Who does the work	BEG, fully managed	Your employee	You and your team	Split between you and PEO
Time to first payroll	3-5 business days	6-12 weeks to hire	4-8 weeks to configure	30-60 days
Contract / lock-in	Month-to-month	At-will employment	Month-to-month or annual	Annual minimum

Weighing the PEO column specifically? A PEO bundles benefits and workers compensation into the same invoice and becomes a co-employer of your staff, which makes a straight rate comparison misleading. See the PEO alternative breakdown for how to compare the administrative portion on its own.

The Real Cost of Waiting

Every month you overpay for payroll is a month you do not get back.

A payroll manager at $80,000 costs $104,000 per year fully loaded. BEG at $45 PEPM for a 50-person company costs $27,000 per year, all-inclusive. The difference compounds every month you stay on your current setup.

FAQ

Common questions about managed payroll pricing

Is there a minimum employee count?

No. BEG works with companies from 5 employees to several hundred, and there is no monthly minimum. Your bill is your employee count multiplied by $45: 10 employees is $450 a month, 50 employees is $2,250.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

BEG operates month-to-month. There is no annual contract requirement. Most clients stay because the service works, not because they are locked in.

What if my headcount changes month to month?

Your monthly invoice reflects your active employee count for that pay period. If you add employees, the rate increases accordingly. If headcount drops, the rate drops. You pay for what you actually use.

Do you charge for multi-state payroll?

No. Multi-state payroll is included in the $45 PEPM rate: state registrations, SUTA filings, and local tax handling for every state where you have employees. There is no setup fee.

Are W-2s and year-end included?

Yes. W-2 preparation, SSA filing, employee delivery, and year-end reconciliation are all included in the monthly rate.

What is not included?

BEG does not administer health insurance or 401(k) contributions, those remain with your benefits broker and plan administrator. If you need benefits administration added, that is handled through the isolved platform as a separate engagement. Everything on the scope table above is included in the PEPM rate.
