Reduce employer payroll taxes by $1,000–$1,500 per W-2 employee annually through an IRS-aligned Section 125 benefit structure. No new costs. No disruption to existing benefits.
The FICA Payroll Tax Savings Program is a compliant, benefits-based strategy that helps employers reduce their Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax liability while enhancing employee wellness benefits. This is not a temporary tax credit or loophole—it's a sustainable payroll tax reduction method built on established IRS guidelines under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Unlike the Employee Retention Credit (ERC), which was a one-time pandemic-related tax credit that has ended, the FICA Payroll Tax Savings Program provides ongoing, year-over-year savings. Employers typically save between $1,000 and $1,500 per W-2 employee annually, depending on payroll structure and plan design.
The program works by restructuring a portion of existing employee compensation into tax-advantaged wellness benefits. This reallocation—not additional cost—reduces the taxable payroll base, lowering both employer and employee FICA contributions while providing employees with valuable health and wellness benefits at no net cost to their take-home pay.
