Employee benefit cost benchmarks

Quarterly ECEC publishes employer-paid benefit costs in current U.S. dollars per employee hour and each compensation component’s 0–100 share of total compensation, selectable by benefit component and pooled worker or establishment cohort, geography, and quarter, with release, footnote, and precision context. It supplies the cost portion of this question; it does not publish benefit access, participation, or take-up.

Annual Employee Benefits in the United States publishes benefit access, participation, take-up, and establishments-offering rates, together with employer medical-premium amounts and employer/employee premium shares, by pooled worker or establishment cohort and national or Census region/division geography. Reference year, release date, provision and denominator, footnotes, and standard errors pin the estimates. It does not provide general ECEC-style benefit cost per employee hour.
