payroll tax reduction, FICA savings

Save more by doing… nothing? Yes, with CHAMP. Discover how this tax-efficient plan helps businesses save without altering salaries or benefits. (Save Thousands in Payroll Taxes Without Changing a Single Salary)

It’s a common misconception: cutting salaries or employee benefits is the only way to save on costs. But what if there was a way to save thousands of dollars in payroll taxes—without touching employee pay? Sounds too good to be true? Not with The CHAMP Plan.

The CHAMP Plan allows businesses to optimize payroll taxes by shifting the responsibility of certain benefits onto employees in a tax-efficient way. Here’s how it works:

💡 The CHAMP Plan in Action: How It Helps Reduce Payroll Taxes

By offering employees a range of pre-tax benefits like health insurance premiums, flexible spending accounts (FSAs), or dependent care assistance, employers can reduce the amount of taxable income subject to payroll taxes. This results in substantial savings for the company without reducing employee compensation or benefits.

Key Benefits for Employers:

1. Payroll Tax Savings: By redirecting employee benefits to pre-tax accounts, businesses reduce their FICA tax burden (Federal Insurance Contributions Act).
2. Employee Satisfaction: Employees can contribute to their benefits with pre-tax dollars, increasing their take-home pay, and reducing their tax liabilities.
3. No Salary Cuts: Unlike traditional cost-cutting measures, salaries and benefits remain unchanged while still generating significant savings.
4. FICA Savings: Reducing the amount subject to FICA taxes means employers can save on Medicare and Social Security taxes.

Company Industry: Technology
Size: 150 employees

💡 The CHAMP Plan Solution:

Company implemented The CHAMP Plan and immediately began offering employees pre-tax benefits for healthcare, daycare, and commuter costs. The result?

• $50,000+ in payroll tax savings in the first year alone.
• No reduction in employee pay or benefits, but employees saw a higher net income due to tax savings.
• Minimal administrative effort: The HR team spent just a few hours setting up the plan and communicating the benefits to employees.

💬 Quote from CFO:

“We thought we had to make tough decisions about cutting benefits or salaries to reduce costs. But with CHAMP, we saved money while keeping employee morale high. It’s the best of both worlds.”

🔍 Why The CHAMP Plan Works for Employers

The key to The CHAMP Plan is its flexibility and tax efficiency. Employers can provide employees with various benefits without increasing company expenses. By offering benefits that employees can pay for with pre-tax dollars, employers can lower their payroll tax liability—which helps save the company thousands annually.

Here’s why this works:

• Pre-tax Contributions: Employees pay for their benefits with pre-tax income, lowering their taxable income and, consequently, lowering the employer’s tax liability as well.
• Payroll Tax Reduction: By reducing the taxable wages subject to FICA taxes and Medicare contributions, both the employee and employer pay less in taxes.
• No Extra Cost: Since the employer does not have to fund these benefits themselves, there is no increase in direct benefits cost.

🧮 Crunching the Numbers: How Much Can You Save?

Let’s break it down with numbers:

For a company with 100 employees, offering $500 per month in pre-tax benefits (healthcare, FSA, etc.) could save the business $15,000 in payroll taxes per year. That’s $15,000 in savings without affecting employee salaries or benefits!

🔑 Bottom Line: Saving Thousands with Minimal Effort

The beauty of The CHAMP Plan lies in its simplicity: employers can save thousands in payroll taxes by simply offering employees the option to use pre-tax benefits. This strategy doesn’t require salary cuts or reducing benefits—instead, it uses tax-efficient compensation methods to free up resources for the business.

You get all the benefits of payroll tax reduction, FICA savings, and CHAMP Plan optimization—all with minimal effort.
