In the example above, the Employer saves $4,865 in payroll taxes each year while at the same time the Employer gets $91,709 more efficient use of the payroll dollars already being spent. In other words, without the Plan, the Employer would have to increase Gross Pay by $91,709 in order to match the employees' increased take-home pay provided under the Plan.
