What to consider when choosing a payroll provider.
What to consider when choosing a payroll provider.
Does this work for teams my size?
Gusto was built for all kinds of teams. Some services are perfect for big corporations but overlook the needs of small businesses. That’s why a flexible payroll and benefits provider is so important. Whether you have a handful of employees or your company is quickly expanding into new states, Gusto’s platform offers flexible plans that cover everything from the basics to expert tools for fast-growing teams. Plus, you can easily upgrade or downgrade at any time.
What’s included in pricing?
We believe the most essential tools should be included—that’s why we don’t charge extra for basic things like off-cycle payrolls. With Gusto, you can pick the best plan for you, then customize it with add-ons to get the powerful functionality you want while saving money on features you don’t need.
Is it easy to switch?
Transferring your payroll data to a new provider can be daunting and tedious. With Gusto, you have someone to explain the process and help you through any tricky twists and turns. And if you have a larger team, we can often handle payroll data transfers on your behalf to help avoid errors and save you time. The same goes for your health benefits — we’re happy to transfer eligible plans right into Gusto so you can keep everything in the same place, all automatically synced with payroll.
Will this grow with my business?
Think about how much your team might grow in the coming years. You’ll want a payroll provider who can continue to serve your needs without making you jump through hoops or pay exorbitant additional costs. Gusto is a strong choice for small and medium sized companies with big aspirations. We understand your unique needs today and are committed to helping your team grow and thrive for years to come.
Pricing FAQs
Can I upgrade or downgrade at any time?
Yes, of course! Gusto was built to grow and evolve with your business. Whether you decide you need new features, or aren’t using the ones you have, upgrading your plan will kick in immediately, and downgrades will go into effect at the beginning of the next billing period (the first of the month).
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
Nope. Gusto is month-to-month. Cancel anytime.
How many times can I run payroll per month?
Every Gusto plan comes with unlimited payroll runs. We’ll never charge you extra for things like off-cycle payrolls.
How much does health insurance administration through Gusto cost?
With Gusto as your broker, health insurance administration comes at no extra cost. You’ll only pay the cost of the insurance premium. Need a quote? We have licensed advisors who can walk you through the process.
Want to keep your broker? For only $6/month per eligible employee, your broker can manage your plans right in Gusto. And Premium plan customers can integrate their health insurance broker for free.
What if my number of employees changes throughout the year?
With Gusto, you’re only charged for active employees. As you add new team members, your monthly price will increase.
How do you bill for contractors?
U.S. contractors are billed at the per-person cost for any plan you select. We know you might not pay your contractors on a regular schedule, so we only bill you for contractors in months when you’ve paid them. For businesses who don’t have any W-2 employees, we also have a Contractor Only plan available for $35/mo + $6/mo per contractor.
When you pay global contractors, there is no monthly per-contractor fee. Gusto charges only a small service and foreign exchange fee for each payment.
How do I sign up for Gusto?

We file federal, state, and local payroll tax forms on your company’s behalf (things like Form W-2, Form 1099, Form 940, Form 941, Form 8974, and others). What’s extra nice is that you can e-file, e-sign, e-fax, and e-store your documents right from your Gusto account. Easy!
Does Gusto integrate with other software?
We know it’s hard to give up the software you love. That’s why Gusto integrates with your favorite tools.
