Employer comparison tool

Compare your PEO quotes

Compare bundled or itemized PEO proposals side by side, including SUTA, service scope and extra fees. Download your report and request a FastechHR quote.

For business owners comparing actual proposals. Retail agents and wholesalers can use the same worksheet with their clients.

1. Put both options on the same footing

Have each proposal handy. Enter only employer costs. Leave missing figures unknown; use zero only when the proposal confirms no charge. Your figures stay in this page until you choose to submit them. Refreshing clears them.

All figures are annualized for the same 12-month period. Gross wages are excluded from the results. Include employer taxes, benefits and fees in both options; employee withholding is not an additional employer expense.

California: 2026 SUTA reference*

Annual wage base per employee: $7,000. Use the applicable employer category and each employee’s taxable wages.

FastechHR reference bill rate: 6.2%. This supplied reference is not a quote or confirmation of program availability. Confirm the billing basis and account applicability.

Where these figures come from*

Wage base: U.S. Department of Labor, January 2026, page 1. Bill rate: FastechHR SUTA Rate Master, 2026; supplied September 14, 2026. Zero entries in the rate master are left unconfirmed. The supplied undated wage-base master is superseded here by this dated federal reference.

2. Enter the proposals—not an advertised rate

Option A

Upload your proposal—let us organize the comparison

PDF, PNG/JPG scan, XLSX or CSV. Up to 10 MB and 15 PDF pages. English OCR. Read on this device; files are not sent to public chat or an AI service. You choose whether to share the originals later. Workbook formulas use saved results and are not recalculated.

Use 112%, for example, only if the invoice is wages plus a 12% charge. Use 12% for the charge alone. Never enter both.

Only use this when confirmed by the proposal. Change any extra or excluded item below. Included does not mean free.

SUTA / state unemployment

Enter the actual quoted basis. A lower percentage is not necessarily a lower annual charge. Undisclosed SUTA inside a bundle cannot be compared separately.

What service do you actually receive?

Option B

Upload your proposal—let us organize the comparison

PDF, PNG/JPG scan, XLSX or CSV. Up to 10 MB and 15 PDF pages. English OCR. Read on this device; files are not sent to public chat or an AI service. You choose whether to share the originals later. Workbook formulas use saved results and are not recalculated.

SUTA / state unemployment

Enter the actual quoted basis. A lower percentage is not necessarily a lower annual charge. Undisclosed SUTA inside a bundle cannot be compared separately.

What service do you actually receive?

California: check the SUTA basis*

For 2026, California UI uses the first $7,000 of wages paid to each employee during the calendar year. Enter total taxable wages from the payroll schedule—not total payroll or average headcount times $7,000. Turnover, partial-year wages and credits can change the figure.

Tax rates, billing charges and other states*

Confirm which employer account and rate apply to the arrangement, whether the quote passes through tax or charges a separate amount, and whether prior wages receive credit. Enter ETT, FUTA and other employer taxes separately in “Other employer taxes.” For other states or multi-state payroll, enter a verified annual SUTA total across the applicable state schedules. We do not assume FastechHR has a lower rate.
