PEPY Benchmark

Per-Employee-Per-Year — and where you actually sit on the curve.

PEPY is the ultimate health-plan metric. Most employers don't know theirs. Most brokers don't surface it because the comparison is uncomfortable. Move the inputs to match your plan.

Methodology and assumptions

Benchmark cohort · Industry × region × size band, with the band derived from public KFF and Mercer survey medians. The P25–P75 width is ~27% around the median, calibrated to the KFF survey's reported interquartile range.

Industry multipliers · Healthcare, financial services, and energy skew higher (more older employees, richer plans). Retail and hospitality skew lower (younger employees, leaner plans).

Region multipliers · Northeast +8%, West +5%, Midwest -4%, South -6%, relative to the national average.

Size multipliers · Larger employers retain scale leverage. Under-100 employers price +7%; 5,000+ employers price -10% versus the mid-market median.

What this is not · This is a directional benchmark, not a plan audit. The audit reconciles your actual 5500 schedule and claims data against the cohort.
