Rough numbers are fine. This is a directional estimate, not a proposal.

Read this before you use the number. Everything on the right is an estimate built from averages, not a quote. The per-caregiver range comes from proposals we have run and from UnifyWell's own published figures. Your real number depends on each employee's wages, filing status and existing deductions, and some caregivers will not qualify at all. Nothing here is a guarantee and nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere.

Where these numbers come from

How the FICA figure is calculated

Employers pay 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare on every dollar of wages, per the Social Security Administration. The 2026 Social Security wage base is $184,500, so the estimator applies the full 7.65% rate to wages below that threshold. Headcount times hours times rate times 7.65%. That is the whole calculation.

The range is a range on purpose

UnifyWell's own published example nets an employer roughly $640 per participating employee per year on a $44,000 earner, after the plan's monthly administration fee. Across the proposals we have run the figure has landed between $300 and $900 per participating employee per year, which is why this shows a band rather than a single number.

The turnover number uses published methodology

The 2026 Activated Insights Benchmarking Report puts median caregiver turnover at 75.5% for 2025. The Center for American Progress found replacement costs of roughly 16% of annual salary for employees earning under $30,000. Multiply the two to get the estimated annual cost of caregiver turnover.

What the estimator cannot tell you

It cannot tell you which of your caregivers qualify, and that is the number that actually decides anything. Qualification turns on individual wages, filing status, pay frequency and whatever deductions are already running, so it changes person by person rather than agency by agency.

It also cannot tell you exactly what will show up on each caregiver's check. Most participating employees see the same or slightly higher take-home pay along with the benefits. The exact figure is specific to each employee.

Both of those come out of a proper analysis, which is free and usually takes a day or two. You can also read the full explanation of how the program works before deciding whether to move forward.

Four questions, about a minute

Got it. Charley will be in touch.

Charley reads every request himself. He'll reach out within a couple of business days to get the additional payroll details needed for the line-by-line analysis, then send it back as a straightforward breakdown rather than a pitch deck.
