In the current competitive business environment, every dollar must be maximized. However, most companies leave a lot of tax savings on the table by failing to take full advantage of pre tax benefit deductions. If your organization has not tapped the full potential of these deductions, particularly those permitted under Section 125 taxes, you might be losing a golden opportunity to minimize payroll costs and enhance employee health. That’s where the Lumara Plan is available—a strong, efficient benefits solution that assists companies in capturing instant, quantifiable savings.
What Are Pre-Tax Benefit Deductions and Section 125 Taxes?
Employees pay eligible benefits like health plan and wellness services directly from their untaxed income under the pre-tax benefits deduction. The employment arrangement lowers their taxable earnings, making them pay fewer taxes. Employers save payroll tax money, particularly through smaller FICA payments, because of this benefit arrangement.
Section 125 of IRS laws lets employees select from tax-free benefits to suit their financial needs. Although companies use some form of Section 125 plan, they often do not utilize its full potential because their current systems need better integration and management assistance.
Meet the Lumara Plan: A Smarter Way to Save
The Lumara Plan is not your typical Section 125 taxes plan—it’s a fully managed solution that blends multiple tax-efficient strategies into one seamless offering. It incorporates:
- Section 125 Tax Strategies: Employees can set aside pre tax benefit deductions to pay for eligible benefits, reducing taxable wages.
- Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP): The plan offers free wellness and virtual health support to help people stay healthy for a long time.
- Self Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP): The plan offers free wellness and virtual health support to help people stay healthy for a long time.
All the components create a complete strategy that helps employers and workers save money without modifying their insurance policies.
Benefits for Employers: More Savings, No Hassle
Implementing the Lumara Plan can result in immediate, recurring financial benefits for your business. Here’s what employers can expect:
- Roughly $600 in savings per W-2 employee each year: If businesses implement the plan for every 100 staff members, they will save $60,000 each year.
- No out-of-pocket costs: The employer will not need to spend their own funds because the plan creates no financial burden.
- Reduced healthcare claims: Better patient health through prevention and fewer claims against primary insurance brings employers $1,400 more savings per staff member over three years.
- Fast implementation: The entire plan requires only 30 to 45 days to launch and our team will help support all administrative aspects.
- Improved employee morale and retention: Your team members feel cared for when you present excellent benefits that cost them little. This helps you keep top talent working at your organization.
- Immediate ROI: These saved funds allow employers to return them to their main business activities or worker programs.
Benefits for Employees: Better Coverage, Higher Take-Home Pay
While the Lumara Plan is designed to deliver measurable tax advantages to employers, it also offers tangible benefits to employees, including:
- 3–4% increase in take-home pay: On average, employees see an extra $100 monthly, thanks to reduced taxable income.
- $0 copay telehealth services: Employees and their families have unlimited, 24/7 access to licensed medical professionals, nurses, and wellness coaches.
- Robust mental health and addiction support: Services include access to licensed counselors and mental wellness tools.
- Wellness support via Mayo Clinic resources: Helping employees take control of their health through evidence-based wellness guidance.
- Tax-free insurance options: These include Universal Life, Critical Illness, and Disability insurance—all without reducing take-home pay.
- Family coverage: Many of the plan’s offerings are eligible for spouses and dependents, extending the benefit’s value even further.
And the best part? These enhancements don’t cost employees anything extra—they’ll likely see an increase in their net earnings, making it a win-win proposition.
