In the United States, employers typically spend roughly 30% of total compensation on employee benefits, averaging between $12 and $15 per hour worked, or roughly $20,000–$30,000 per employee annually. As of June 2025, private industry benefits averaged $13.58 per hour, while public sector employers often spend significantly more, averaging over $24 per hour, driven by higher insurance and retirement costs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
