Companies with 25 or fewer employees pay a flat rate starting at $250 USD/month instead of the per-employee rate. Payroll and Benefits Administration are separate add-ons (US employees only); bundling both with any plan gets a 15% discount. Volume and non-profit discounts are also available.
What BambooHR costs at 25, 100 and 500 seats
Annual software spend computed at $10/user/month — BambooHR's published per-seat rate. That is not always the same as the headline "starting from" price, which often refers to a single-user or entry plan. Implementation, integrations and support are on top.
