The PCMP Explained: How Employers Save $633 Per W-2 Employee Per Year At Zero Net Cost
SIMERPU recap and commentary: Mardy Gould
Opened — main text retrieved
Quick recap
Presents a PCMP payroll walkthrough, a $1,216 salary redirection example and claimed $633 annual employer savings. Discusses services, eligibility and its response to compliance objections.
SIMERPU’s viewpoint
The stated $633 annual savings and $1,216 salary-redirection example provide specific assumptions an employer can examine. SIMERPU would reconcile those amounts to fees, participation and the proposed payroll treatment for that workforce. The value of a detailed example is the ability to explain when its result changes.
What this source contributes
The stated amounts give readers a concrete illustration to reconcile rather than a savings claim without numbers.
What remains unanswered
The $633 result requires checking participation, fees and payroll assumptions for the employer considering the program.
Mardy Gould’s take
A specific savings figure is useful when someone can explain how it was built. I would ask the provider to recreate the example with the employer’s own census, show every fee and identify when the result changes. That gives the employer a decision model it can understand and revisit.
Questions I would bring to the conversation
1. What assumptions produce the stated $633 result?
2. Which fees are included in the calculation?
3. How does the result change for employees with different payroll-tax participation?

What would change our assessment?
A reconciled census-based model, including exceptions and all charges, could support or change the advertised result.
