Employer Savings Diagnostic

Start with aggregate employer facts to generate an instant preliminary estimate. Matt Ragudo, Director of Partnerships, is the first point of contact for fit questions. WIMPER then verifies only full-time status, benefit eligibility, and sufficient salary for the deduction. If the opportunity is credible, Brandon Attebury coordinates the parties, paperwork, and procedures required to move through implementation.

Thank You for Your Interest

Based on your inputs, a WIMPER program may not be the most efficient tax strategy for your current structure. The Section 125 + 105 framework works best for employers with 10+ benefit-eligible employees who already offer a group health plan.

For smaller teams, we recommend exploring a QSEHRA (Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangement), which offers similar tax advantages for businesses with fewer than 50 employees.

*Preliminary estimate based on provided data
SAVINGS ASSUMPTION: This PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE uses the standard WIMPER projection of $1,119.20 in annual employer FICA savings per enrolled employee. Employee-level savings can be slightly lower when wages exceed the applicable FICA wage-base cap. Employer totals vary with the census, wages, election amounts, participation, and payroll setup. The Verified ProForma will reflect actual payroll data.
CITATION: The 7.65% FICA reduction on qualifying Section 125 salary reductions rests on IRC Section 3121(a)(5)(G) (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/3121) and IRS Publication 15 (https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-publication-15).
