What Is Schedule 125

Schedule 125 refers to a section of the Internal Revenue Code that allows certain benefit costs to be handled on a pre-tax basis through a cafeteria plan. When structured properly as part of a wellness program, Schedule 125 can reduce employer payroll tax liability and increase employee take-home pay. It is a tax structure, not a product or insurance policy.

What Schedule 125 Is Not

  • Not health insurance
  • Does not replace your existing medical plan
  • Does not require changing brokers or payroll providers
  • Does not involve bonuses, rebates, or gimmicks

How the Savings Are Created

By allowing certain costs to be paid pre-tax, Schedule 125 reduces taxable wages. This lowers employer FICA obligations and reduces employee tax withholding. The resulting payroll tax savings are used to fund the program.
