FAQs about commuter benefits and payroll

  • What is the IRS limit for commuter benefits in 2026?

    The IRS will allow you to withhold up to $340 per month of each employees’ pre-tax income to cover commuter benefits in 2026 (up from $325 in 2025). Depending on where your business is located, this may or may not cover the expenses associated with your employees’ commutes. In some cities, parking can cost double this maximum. You have the option to subsidize the difference, but it’s completely up to you. Learn more about commuter benefits

  • Should employers consider offering commuter benefits?

    Offering commuter benefits could help employers attract and retain top talent. Your current employees might appreciate them since they can use tax-free dollars toward commuting costs, easing pressure on their pocketbooks — and preventing staff turnover. For employers, these programs are typically cost-effective and may even lower your payroll tax liability, since pre-tax deductions reduce taxable wages. It’s a simple way to add meaningful value to your benefits package without adding complexity to your day-to-day payroll process.

  • How to offer commuter benefits?

    If you choose to implement one or more of the pre-tax commuter benefits options, your payroll services provider can make sure it’s automatically and correctly deducted from payroll and payroll taxes. Simply decide which benefits you want to offer, and set up the appropriate deductions in your payroll system, and apply employee elections each pay run. With the right setup, pre-tax amounts are calculated before taxes are withheld, IRS limits are tracked, and reporting is handled behind the scenes.
