Compare PEO quotes side by side
PEO quotes are built to be hard to compare. We put them on the same basis so you can see the real number.
Every PEO bundles its price differently — administration, payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and benefits all rolled together in ways that don’t line up quote to quote. That’s why two “competitive” quotes can be thousands of dollars apart once you separate the pieces.
PEO Consulting Partners collects your quotes, pulls apart the bundle, and prices your actual employee census against each option, so you get one clean side-by-side comparison instead of four PDFs you can’t reconcile.
Why PEO quotes don’t compare as written
A PEO quote usually leads with a “total service fee” or an average percentage of payroll — a bundled figure that mixes the administrative fee (what you’re really paying the PEO) with pass-through costs like taxes and workers’ comp premiums that exist regardless of provider.
Compare those bundled numbers directly and you’re comparing apples to oranges. The admin fee is the part that actually differs, and it’s the part that’s hardest to find in the quote.
What a real comparison looks like
We separate the administrative fee from every pass-through cost, restate each quote on the same payroll basis, and price your real census — by plan and coverage tier — against each PEO’s benefit options.
You end up with total annual cost per option, the admin fee per employee per month, the benefit plan mapping, and the trade-offs, all on one page you can actually decide from.
Who this is for
Companies with PEO quotes in hand who want to know which is genuinely the best deal; companies shopping their current PEO at renewal; and companies considering a PEO for the first time who want the market compared for them.
Frequently asked questions
How do you compare PEO quotes fairly?
We restate every quote on the same basis: the administrative fee separated from pass-through taxes and workers’ comp, and your actual census priced against each benefit plan. That turns bundled, non-comparable quotes into a true side-by-side.
Which PEOs can you compare?
Any of them — Insperity, ADP TotalSource, TriNet, Justworks, Rippling, and others, plus ASO, payroll-only, and open-market benefit options where they fit better.
What do I need to send?
Your PEO quotes and a basic employee census (roster with ages, ZIPs, salaries, and benefit elections). If you don’t have everything, we’ll help you gather it.
How much does it cost?
It’s free to start. You get the comparison and a walkthrough; you only proceed if there’s a better fit.
