Here's a simple savings example (assumes 25% tax bracket):
- Without Wage Works: You make $100 at work. You take home $75 of that $100 after tax. You buy a $25 Septa Pass leaving you with $50.
- With Wage Works: You make $100 at work. WageWorks purchases a Septa Pass pre-taxes at $25 leaving you with $75. The $75 is taxed leaving you with $56.25.
- That is a savings of $6.25!
