TriNet pricing
What TriNet really costs, why the per employee fee is only part of it, and the benefits, taxes and co employment model that decide your real bill.
TriNet does not publish standard prices. It quotes each deal on company size, industry, location and the services you need, and it sells two main models. HR Plus is an administrative services arrangement where you stay the employer of record and TriNet runs the HR admin and technology. The full PEO is a co employment arrangement where TriNet becomes the employer of record for tax purposes and gives you access to its large group benefit plans. Both bundle the HR technology platform, which TriNet does not sell on its own. The per employee fee is only the service charge. Benefit premiums, workers compensation and payroll taxes are billed on top and usually form the larger share of the invoice. Below we lay out the structure as reported, then the costs that decide real spend. Treat the figures as a guide and confirm with TriNet.
Plans and prices
Per employee per month; quote basedPricing as of June 2026. TriNet does not publish list prices. Third parties report HR Plus, its administrative services model, from about $35 per employee per month, and full PEO co employment around $100 to $150 per employee per month. Both are quote based and exclude benefit premiums, workers compensation and payroll taxes, which are billed on top. The HR technology platform is bundled, not sold standalone. Check the vendor for current pricing.
The per employee fee is the floor, not the bill.
Four things tend to separate TriNet's reported per employee figure from what a team actually pays. Because pricing is quoted, budget for these before you commit.
