Pre-tax Benefit Plans Cut Employers’ Payroll Taxes

Help staff pay their share of
health insurance premiums the
most tax-efficient way through
a dedicated pre-tax account.
To set up a pre-tax account, an
employer establishes a Section
125 cafeteria plan using a
third-party administrator.
MDA-endorsed Alerus can
help members establish and
administer these plans, including
premium-only plans. When an
employee funds a pre-tax
account it reduces their gross
pay, which reduces payroll taxes
by 7.65% for every dollar so
allocated. Learn more by
