The financial engine behind every serious PEO decision

Your next client is asking AI what a PEO does to their taxes. It's answering without you.

Owners research on AI and Google before they call anyone, and the first thing they want is a number. The engine puts a real one on your site, under your brand: a sourced report showing what a PEO structure does to their taxes, against their real costs. You become the broker with the answer.

What changed in 2026

The funnel that worked for twenty years is the thing losing you deals now.

For two decades, broker conversion was a contact form, a calendar link, and a discovery call. That funnel assumes the prospect will trade their information for a conversation. In 2026 they won't. They open an AI tool or a search bar, ask what a PEO would actually do for them, and expect a number back. When your site has nothing to give them but a form, they read the silence as their answer and leave.

This is not a lead-volume problem. It is an answer-delivery problem. And it is happening earlier in the journey than most brokers realize, before the prospect ever lands on your site.

Buyer behavior, 2025 survey

Business buyers now name AI or conversational search as a more meaningful source than any other, outranking vendor sites, product experts, and sales reps.

55% / 47%

Use AI to compare vendors against each other, and to build their internal case, before they ever contact a vendor.

94%

Now use AI somewhere in their buying process. It is no longer an early-adopter habit. It is how buying works.

You already know how this feels, because you do it too. When you shop a vendor, a tool, a service, you want the price before you spend an hour on a call. You of all people know which PEOs lock a client in, which ones nickel-and-dime, which ones make demands that cost the owner later. You would never engage a vendor who hid the number and forced a meeting first.

Your prospects are now exactly that sophisticated. The engine gives them what you would want: the real math first, on their own numbers, before anyone asks them to talk.

Buyers now form their view before they ever reach you. The engine is how you put a real answer in front of them at that moment, on their own numbers. What that answer is worth to your book is a figure you can run yourself.

Your numbers, in three minutes.

Every PEO decision starts with the same unanswered question.

What does moving health premiums from post-tax to pre-tax actually do to this owner's tax picture, in their state, in their entity structure? Business owners, CPAs, brokers, and advisors all eventually need the same answer.

Generic calculators use industry averages. Broker estimates are optimized for enrollment. CPAs do it by hand in thirty minutes, if they do it at all. This engine does it in three minutes, with every rate cited.

If the math does not support a PEO, the engine says so. That is what makes it credible.

The technical heart

What goes into the math.

Eight inputs, computed against current federal and state law, for the specific owner in front of you.

Entity structureSingle-member LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp each get different treatment for owner compensation, self-employment tax, and premium deduction. The engine shows all three side by side.
Owner compensationW-2 salary versus distributions for an S-Corp, reasonable-compensation logic, and self-employment tax on net income for sole proprietors and single-member LLCs.
Health insuranceCurrent premium, plan type, pre-tax versus post-tax status, and HSA contributions. Section 125 treatment is applied to the owner's premiums when they move into co-employment.
W-2 employeesHeadcount and average employer premium contribution, modeled as aggregate cost impact on business net income. Not employee by employee.
Federal taxTY2026 IRS brackets, standard deduction, filing status including spouse income when filing jointly, and above-the-line deductions for self-employed health insurance and HSA.
State taxAll 50 states, with current rates sourced and cited, and state-specific deduction rules applied where they exist.
Payroll and SE taxFICA on W-2 wages, self-employment tax on net SE income, and the S-Corp split where FICA applies to the salary portion only.
Deductions and QBIAbove-the-line self-employed health insurance and HSA deductions, plus the qualified business income deduction where it applies. The interactions that change the owner's effective rate, not just the headline brackets.
What the engine does not calculate — workers compensation rates, SUTA experience rating, PEO administrative fees, co-employment liability, retirement plan interactions beyond basic QBI, or mid-year exit costs. These require a formal PEO proposal and professional review. The engine states this explicitly in every output.
Who it's for

Six different people. One engine.

PEO Broker

You send prospects a link. They enter their numbers. You get a phone-verified lead who already understands the financial case, with no discovery call needed to establish value.

Broker plans →

CPA / Tax Professional

Your client asks about a PEO. You run their numbers in the meeting and hand them a sourced, line-item document with your firm name in the header. The conversation moves forward instead of stalling.

Professional plans →

Business Owner

You're considering a PEO but not ready to talk to a broker. You enter your own numbers, see your picture privately, and decide whether the math works before any sales conversation.

Run your numbers →

Fractional CFO / Advisor

Annual review, one more optimization to scan for, two minutes per client. If the delta is meaningful the conversation starts itself. If not, you move on. Either way it's documented.

Professional plans →

Bookkeeper

You see the health insurance premium line every month. Now you can surface what it means for your client's tax picture without doing the math yourself or overstepping your scope.

Professional plans →

PEO Sales Team

Your rep runs the prospect's numbers live in the discovery call. The output is sourced and auditable, so the prospect's CFO can verify it. The conversation starts at a higher level than any generic estimate.

The math standard

Why cited sources matter in a tax tool.

Every PEO savings estimate on the internet uses industry averages. The gap between an average-based estimate and an entity-specific calculation for a specific owner in a specific state can run into thousands of dollars.

A CPA reviewing a PEO decision needs to see the rate source, not just the number. A number without a source is an opinion. Every figure this engine produces shows where its rate came from.

The engine was built to be audited. That is not a marketing claim, it is a design requirement. If the math does not hold up under CPA review, the tool fails its primary purpose.

Rate sources — TY2026Federal brackets · IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32

Questions worth asking

Before you use this.

Is this accurate enough for a CPA to rely on?The engine covers federal income tax, state income tax, payroll and SE tax, and Section 125 premium treatment, with every rate cited. If a number is wrong, the source is visible so it can be checked. What it does not cover is documented explicitly, so a CPA reading the scope statement knows exactly what to verify independently.
What if the math shows a PEO isn't worth it?The engine says so. A tool that only produces favorable numbers is a sales tool. This one produces accurate numbers regardless of which direction they point. That is the whole point.
How is this different from a PEO's own ROI calculator?PEO calculators are built to produce enrollment. They use the PEO's own assumptions and are not entity-aware or state-specific. This engine is independent of any PEO, uses publicly sourced tax rates, and shows all three entity structures at once so the owner sees the full picture regardless of direction.
Is my data private?Professional and broker account reports are associated with your firm account. Pay-per-report sessions are stored temporarily, expire in 30 days, and are not shared with any broker or PEO unless you choose to contact one.
For brokers

The engine as conversion infrastructure.

Warm demand dies against a contact form. This inverts the order: math first, contact information second.

Math first, contact secondThe prospect runs their numbers before they hand over any information. Value is established before the first conversation.
Phone-verified leadsYou get a named, phone-verified lead with a full financial profile before the first call, not an anonymous form fill.
The white-label layerTheir brand, their domain, their lead. The engine runs invisibly under your identity, not ours.
The portalLead management, analytics, and webhook delivery straight into the CRM you already use.
Deploy in one lineA single line of JavaScript on any site. No development project, no integration sprint.
The CPA channel add-onDedicated pages per CPA partner with tracked referrals, so your accountant relationships become a measurable lead source.
