Calculate Employer Savings By Offering an FSA

The following calculator demonstrates potential tax savings for employers when they implement a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for employees.

An FSA provides several benefits to an employer. The employee's pretax contribution to the FSA lowers the employer's FICA tax liability. In addition, employers that offer FSAs to employees could save on Federal Unemployment Taxes (FUTA), State Unemployment Taxes (SUTA) and Workers Compensation taxes.

FSAs provide employers tax savings that help to offset rising healthcare costs, and provide employees with an additional healthcare benefit.

Employer FSA Calculator Demonstrates Tax Savings

Use this calculator to determine your potential employer tax savings. This calculator is for planning purposes only and is designed to demonstrate potential tax savings and does not guarantee savings. We assumed premiums are on a pre-tax basis and did not take into account mid-year election changes, participant forfeitures, or gains due to early coverage terminations.
