This is one of the most common what-if conversations brokers have with employers.
What if we lower the employee contribution?
What if we pay more toward dependents?
What if we structure contributions differently across plans?
Plansight makes this easy through the Modeler.
Inside the Modeler, you can adjust contribution levers for any plan. Employee percentages, dependent contributions, flat dollar amounts, or contribution strategies can all be updated without touching the underlying quote.
As soon as contributions change, Plansight does the rest.
Contribution pages in the presentation update automatically.
Employer and employee costs are recalculated across all plans.
Those updated numbers flow directly into the Benefit Builder and the Analysis and Recommendation pages.
This allows you to show side-by-side scenarios. One version with the current contribution approach. Another with a proposed change. Both are tied to real numbers, not estimates.
You’re no longer explaining hypotheticals. You’re showing the financial impact clearly and instantly.
