Technology Software Benefits Landscape

Industry trends and benchmarking considerations

Software and technology companies compete intensely for engineering and product talent, which drives benefits strategy. Our benchmarking data shows tech employers tend to favor PPO and HDHP plan designs, with a higher-than-average rate of self-funding among larger companies. Employee contribution strategies in this sector often emphasize lower out-of-pocket costs for employees, particularly for individual coverage, as part of the overall compensation package.

Key Trends

HDHP Adoption with HSA

Tech employers increasingly offer HDHP options paired with employer HSA contributions. Our data shows this combination is more prevalent in tech than most other industries.

Richer Plan Designs

Compared to national averages, software companies typically offer lower deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, reflecting the competitive talent market.

Higher Employer Contributions

Tech employers generally cover a larger percentage of premium costs, particularly for employee-only coverage, with some covering 90%+ of individual premiums.

Benchmarking Considerations

When benchmarking against tech industry standards, consider company size. Well-funded startups and public tech companies often offer richer plan designs than bootstrapped or early-stage companies. Use state filters to compare against regional competitors.
