Employee Contribution
Northwest Center funds the majority of the cost of the benefit plans. Deductions for our health plan will be taken on a pre-tax basis unless you request otherwise.
- Pre-tax means that deductions are taken prior to calculation of your taxable income, thereby reducing your tax liability.
NWC has 26 pay periods per year but will take deductions out of 24 paychecks only.
| Monthly Employee Cost | Health Savings Plan | Traditional Plan | Delta Dental | VSP Vision |

| Employee + Spouse/DP* | $382 | $700 | $46 | $13 |
| Employee + Child(ren) | $148 | $403 | $39 | $14 |
| Employee + Family | $482 | $890 | $78 | $21 |
*Due to IRS guidelines, domestic partner premiums must be paid with after-tax dollars. The value of the benefit (total premium paid by NWC for the domestic partner) must also be included as income on the employee’s W-2.
