Remote Benefits:

United States

Remote builds belonging for your global team with comprehensive local plans at competitive rates.

At Remote, we are committed to delivering a broad selection of benefit offerings to our clients and their teams in the United States. - focusing is providing healthcare coverage that is both effective and cost-efficient.

2026 Benefit Plan - Key Highlights

Flexible Life Insurance options for you to offer your team members. You can choose from four different plan options, each of which includes Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), Short-Term Disability (STD), and Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage.

These benefits are fully employer-funded.

We’re introducing a new benefits tier — Advantage, which covers 100% of the premium cost for employee and 60% for their dependents. This addition gives you even more flexibility, allowing you to choose from eight different benefits tiers to find the coverage and contribution level that best fits your company’s needs.

Benefit Structure

As our customer, you have the flexibility to choose from eight benefit tiers available in the United States. To remain compliant, each tier includes health-related coverage (medical, dental, and vision), which is considered part of the compensation package for all employees based in the U.S.

Selecting a Benefit Tier

The benefit tier you choose determines how much of your team’s healthcare premiums you’ll cover for employees and their dependents.

Base Plan

Each tier includes a base plan used to calculate your contribution. If an employee chooses a plan below the base, you’ll pay less.

Employee Contributions

Employees pay the remaining premium after your contribution. If they choose a higher-cost “Buy-Up” plan, they pay the difference.

Example:
If your selected tier covers 60% for employees and 40% for dependents, and the total monthly premium for employee + dependent coverage is $800 ($500 for the employee and $300 for the dependent), you would contribute $420 ($300 for the employee + $120 for the dependent), and the employee would pay $380.

Tier Comparison Medical Plan

Explore the different benefit tiers and their contribution levels. The key features of each tier have been added in the table below, along with a cost range depending on which plan your team member enrolls in. For an in-depth view of the costs associated with each plan your employee enrolls in, you can view the pricing table.

The rates listed here are from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026. policy year. Pricing and benefits are subject to change in response to business and market changes and we will update you when those changes take place.

Remote Global Wellness and LifeStyle Benefit

Remote has partnered with ThanksBEN to provide a flexible Wellness & Lifestyle Benefit for your team


ThanksBEN’s platform is available on desktop and mobile and allows employees to access a wide variety of wellness and lifestyle services, including:

  • Physical and mental health support such as gym memberships, fitness classes, therapy, mindfulness apps, and guided meditation.
  • Lifestyle services like streaming subscriptions (Spotify, Netflix), groceries, and other services that support work-life balance and personal well-being.
  • Personalized recommendations to help employees select benefits most relevant to their needs.
  • Platform support for employees needing immediate assistance or guidance on wellness-related concerns.

Clients can choose to offer the Wellness & Lifestyle Benefit and select from multiple contribution levels. Once a plan is selected, employees are automatically enrolled, and the company will be charged monthly. Employees have the option to opt out at any time, in which case enrollment will be terminated and charges will stop effective from the following month.

It is important to note that in certain countries, wellness benefits may be considered a Benefit in Kind (BIK). This means the monthly contributions paid by the company could be treated as taxable income for the employee under local tax laws.

Pricing and benefits are subject to change based on business and market conditions. Any updates will be communicated to clients as they occur.

  • Currency: All contributions are listed in USD. Local currency equivalents will be calculated automatically at the time of use.
  • Service Fee: The Benefits Service Fee of $15 per enrolled employee per month applies (a single fee regardless of the number of benefits offered).


Start and End Date of the Wellness & Lifestyle Benefit

  • Start date: Employees will be enrolled in the Wellness & Lifestyle Benefit from the 1st day of the month following their employment start date.
    Example: If an employee starts on July 15, their benefit will begin on August 1. The benefit card will be topped up between the 5th and 7th of that month.
  • End date: The Wellness & Lifestyle Benefit for your employees will remain active until the end of their termination month. Benefits are not pro-rated in the final month.
    Example: If an employee’s termination date is August 20, their wallet will remain active until August 31. Any unused balance after August 31 will no longer be accessible

Remote's Benefits Practices

Remote supports our clients by offering competitive benefits packages that will help you attract and retain the best talent across the globe! Our benefits specialists have done the research on norms and requirements in each local market and have crafted packages that will allow your employees to thrive, no matter what country they live in.

Our core benefits (which often include things like healthcare) are required in most countries where we hire. Because Remote is the employer of record, it’s important for us to offer the same core benefits to all employees in a country to ensure fair equity and non-discriminatory hiring practices, which protects your business and ours. We do not add a markup on any benefits premiums or administration costs.

If you would like more insight into fair equity and benefits best practices, you can download our Global Benefits Guide here!

Understanding Hiring in United States
  1. In the US, the majority of employers offer supplemental health insurance to their workforce. The country does not have a public health system, and as such, private health insurance is a hugely important benefit that allows employees to access routine care and pay for care in the event of an emergency without going into debt. The United States is a unique environment for benefits compared to the rest of the world and can be one of the most expensive countries to employ in due to the high costs of benefits (particularly healthcare). 
  2. Everyone employed by Remote in US must have access to all core benefits as part of their basic compensation package. Not offering a particular benefit, such as insurance options or a 401(K) retirement plan, would put Remote and our customers at risk of discriminatory hiring claims. 
  3. Once an employee is enrolled in or has waived their health benefits they cannot modify their selection until the end of the plan year (open enrollment). The only exception to this rule is if an employee or covered dependent experiences an IRS defined “qualifying life event,” at which time, they will have 60 days to notify Remote of the status change.
  4. Remote cannot provide any additional stipends, allowances, or alternative benefits to employees in the US for compliance reasons.

TCE in the United States

If you’re ready to hire a new employee in the US, you may have generated or received a Total Cost of Employment quote to get an estimate of what it might cost. If you haven’t, you can do so with our handy Cost Calculator tool now!

Employers hiring in the US must pay for social contributions mandated by the government. These costs are automatically applied during payroll:

  1. Social Security
  2. Medicare
  3. State-specific taxes

The exact cost of the government contributions listed above (and nuances by state) can be found by using the Cost Calculator.
