Transaction-Based Pricing | No Cost to the Employer
If No Employee Makes an Exchange, You Pay Nothing. Ever.
PTO Exchange is structured as a self-funded benefit — which means the platform pays for itself through an IRS-required service charge applied at the time of each employee transaction. That service charge is not an add-on or a workaround; it is a required forfeiture under IRS guidance that PTO Exchange is uniquely built to leverage as its pricing mechanism.
What that means for your organization:
-
No Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) fees You are not charged for employees who don't exchange. There are no recurring monthly costs based on headcount, enrollment, or eligibility.
-
No monthly platform or hosting fees The platform runs, integrates, and reports — and you're never billed for infrastructure.
-
No new employer budget line required Outside of a nominal one-time implementation fee, there is no ongoing cost to the company. The program is entirely self-sustaining.
-
Employees who don't exchange pay nothing either Cost only occurs when value is delivered. If an employee doesn't make an exchange, no charge is incurred — by them or by you.
-
You only pay when the benefit works Our pricing model is aligned with your outcomes. We succeed when your employees do.
1
Employee converts PTO
Users choose which benefit to fund using their accrued vacation hours.
2
IRS-required forfeiture
To maintain tax compliance, a smallmandatory percentage of hours is forfeited.
3
Service Delivery
PTO Exchange uses the forfeited value to power the platform and deliver benefits.
This is not a fee we invented—it is a requirement of the IRS constructive receipt doctrine to ensure the exchange remains a tax-compliant benefit rather than taxable income.
Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) | No Cost to the Employer Beyond the PEPM Rate
Simple, Predictable Pricing — and You Only Pay for What Employees Use.
Contact our team for current PEPM rates based on your organization's size and selected pillars.
LPA Exchange is priced on a modest per-employee-per-month basis, calculated on the number of employees eligible for the benefit. There are no surprise costs, no year-end true-ups on unused funds, and no complex fee structures.
Unlike traditional FSAs or pre-funded wellness accounts, LPAs are reimbursement-based — meaning you pay only for what employees actually spend. Your PEPM rate provides access to the platform; the benefit itself is funded when employees make eligible purchases within the approved spending categories you define.
For organizations that pair LPA Exchange with PTO Exchange, employees can fund their Life Planning Account using the value of unused earned PTO — creating a no-new-cost pathway to a premium wellness benefit.
Flexible Pricing | No Cost to Employer to Offer
Give Employees a Financial Safety Net — Without Adding to Your Benefits Budget.
Contact our team for pricing details based on your organization's size and program design.
Savings Exchange can be offered to your employees at no direct cost to the organization. The platform integrates with your existing payroll infrastructure, automates enrollment, and handles all compliance — including Secure 2.0 alignment — without adding a new vendor cost to your benefits stack.
Employer matching contributions and financial incentives are entirely optional and fully customizable — giving you the ability to amplify participation and reward saving behavior when and if your budget allows, without any requirement to do so.
See What Your PTO Liability Is Actually Costing You — Before You Decide Anything.
Most finance leaders are surprised by the number. PTO accrual compounds with every salary increase, every promotion, every year an employee doesn't take time off. In states with mandatory PTO payout requirements at termination, that exposure grows even faster.
Calculate your organization's PTO liability exposure in minutes — and see exactly how PTO Exchange reduces it, at no cost to your business.
The platform is funded through an IRS-required employee service charge — not a fee we created, but a compliance requirement we built our entire model around.
