Companies that trust Compt

Most teams are managing stipends the hard way

Most companies can offer a stipend. The problem is everything that happens after they do. Whether it lives in spreadsheets, payroll, an expense tool, or a narrow point solution, HR usually ends up doing the work.

Spreadsheets & inbox approvals

Every submission lands on your plate. You review it, determine if it qualifies, coordinate tax treatment with payroll, and process the reimbursement — manually, every cycle.

“People keep asking me… have they gotten paid yet? That eats so much of my time.” — HR leader, 250-person health center

Added directly to paychecks

You add the stipend to payroll as extra pay. Employees get the money — but you have no visibility into how it’s being used or whether the benefit is actually landing.

“We just did it as a direct stipend. It didn’t give us any insight into how they were using it. It worked as an interim solution, but not for long term.” — HR director, 1,000-person retailer

Expense tools used for benefits

You’re running stipends through Brex, Concur, or a similar tool. It handles receipts, but eligibility decisions and tax treatment still land on HR and payroll manually.

“We have Brex for expensing, but that doesn’t handle the compliance side. We were sunsetting the program because of the administrative hurdle of making sure it was tax compliant.” — HR leader, Series A startup

Limited categories, low participation

Your program covers one or two vendors and most employees don’t bother because it doesn’t fit their lives. The benefit exists on paper but isn’t doing much.

“We reimburse for Peleton and one gym. Less than five percent of our employees are using it. I’d rather see 100% using $50 a month than 10% using the higher amount.” — VP of HR, 250+-person medical center

The Solution

Set the rules once. Compt runs the program.

Define what’s eligible, who gets it, and how the program should run. Compt applies those rules across submissions, tax treatment, and payroll, so your team spends its time on exceptions instead of routine administration.

You define the rules, and Compt enforces them

Set eligible categories, limits, and who’s included. Configured once, applied every cycle. You keep as much — or as little — oversight as you want.

Tax treatment and payroll, handled automatically

Taxable vs. nontaxable applied automatically per IRS guidelines. Payments run through your existing payroll system. No manual calculations. No quarter-end reconciliation.

Visibility your employees will actually notice

Everyone sees what’s available, what’s been used, and what’s pending — in one place. No more “did I get paid yet?” emails. Real-time reporting for HR and Finance.

FAQ

The most common questions HR asks

Answered before you’re even on a call.

Compt is a reimbursement-based platform for managing flexible stipends and Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSAs). HR teams use it to define eligible categories, automate tax treatment, and deliver reimbursements through payroll — without manual spreadsheet work or one-off eligibility decisions. Average participation rate across Compt customers: 93%.
Compt applies correct taxable vs. nontaxable treatment to each reimbursement automatically, based on IRS guidelines and your program configuration. Taxable reimbursements are delivered through payroll with the appropriate withholding — no manual tax calculation needed, no reconciliation at quarter end. This is the most consistent reason HR and payroll teams cite for switching to Compt.

Compt uses fixed annual pricing based on your team size, starting at $3,000/year for up to 50 employees, not per employee per month. You budget for two things: the software fee (fixed for your contract) and the reimbursements you approve. There’s no prefunding and no minimums, so unused benefit budget stays with you. Learn more about pricing here.

When stipends are added directly to paychecks, they blend into compensation — employees don’t experience them as a distinct benefit, and there’s no visibility into how the money is being used. Compt keeps stipends separate, applies eligibility rules, handles tax treatment correctly, and gives employees a place to see and use their benefit. That’s why participation rates are significantly higher.
No — you have options. You can review submissions yourself, set up auto-approvals by vendor or dollar amount so routine receipts pass through without your involvement, or have Compt’s customer success team handle review on your behalf. Most teams start with some manual review and automate as they get comfortable with what their employees submit.
No. Compt is reimbursement-based — employees front the cost of an eligible expense, submit a receipt, and are reimbursed through payroll with correct tax treatment applied. No prefunding required. No minimum spend. You pay only when employees actually use their benefit. This is also what allows employees to choose from virtually any vendor category. Maximum flexibility for them, full budget control for you.
This is a common starting point. You bring your existing program structure — the categories, the budget, who’s eligible — and configure it in Compt. Compt applies those rules consistently so you’re not making individual eligibility decisions each cycle. How much manual review you keep is entirely up to you. Most programs launch in 14 days.
