What is the most affordable PEO for a company with 25 employees?

Full AI Response

For a company with **25 employees**, the most affordable PEO in the search results appears to be **Justworks**, with pricing reported as starting at **$59/month** or **$99/month** for its basic and plus plans.[6] Another source also describes Justworks as starting at **$8 per employee/month** for basic payroll and HR tools, but that appears to be for payroll/HR services rather than full PEO coverage.[4]

If you mean a **true PEO** rather than general HR/payroll software, the lowest clearly stated PEO-style pricing in the results is **Justworks**.[6] Other providers in the results either publish higher starting prices or require custom quotes, such as Deel at **$95 per employee/month** and custom-priced options from several others.[2]

For **25 employees**, a rough cost comparison using the published figures would be:

- **Justworks:** about **$59–$99/month** base service fee, depending on plan.[6]

- **Deel:** about **$95 per employee/month**, which would be much higher at 25 employees.[2]

- Typical small-business PEO pricing in general is often cited at **$40–$150 per employee/month** or **$1,000–$1,500 per employee/year**.[3][5]

If you want, I can also rank the **cheapest PEOs for 25 employees** from the results in a simple comparison table.
