How much does BambooHR cost?

The $250 floor punishes very small teams

At exactly 25 staff the floor works out at $10 a head. At five staff it works out at $50 a head. If you are under about 15 people, price the flat fee against tools that charge per seat with no minimum.

Above 50 staff the maths flips, and the per employee rate starts falling with volume. That is the point where asking for a discount is worth the call.

Why you have to ask

Like most software sold by a sales team, BambooHR keeps its pricing off the website. Every quote is custom, and the gap between a small deal and a large one is wide. We built the ranges here from reported deals so you have a number before the first call.

Because the bill is per employee, per month, the quote grows with every seat you add. Count the seats you will really use before the call.

Before you decide

BambooHR is priced for companies between about 25 and 250 staff. Under 25 you pay the floor and the cost per head looks poor. Over 250 the per employee rate falls, but the total is large enough that a full HR suite quote from a rival is worth getting.

Two questions save money on the call: what is the rate at my exact headcount, and what do payroll and benefits administration add. Those two add ons are where quotes often double.

One more cost to plan for is implementation. Moving staff records, documents and time off balances takes work, and quotes often include a one off setup fee. Ask what the fee covers, who does the data import, and how long it takes. If the answer is that you do the import yourself from templates, price your own hours into the comparison.
