We offer a comprehensive, flexible, and market-competitive benefits program. Our benefits package reflects the diversity and mobility that make PwC unique. It provides access to programs that can be tailored to meet the personal health and financial well-being needs and goals of our partners, staff and their families. The benefits program also reflects our philosophy of shared responsibility. PwC pays the full cost of some benefits. For other benefits, our professionals share the cost with the firm. For certain other coverage, our partners and staff pay the full cost. In addition, some benefits have service requirements that must be met before benefits are available. The PwC benefits program currently includes the following for eligible professionals:
Life and accident insurance
- Basic Group Term Life Insurance pays $20,000 to your beneficiary(ies) if you die.
- You may purchase Supplemental Life Insurance for yourself—from one to 10 times your salary. Dependent Life Insurance for your spouse (from $25,000 to $300,000 of coverage) and for your children ($5,000 or $10,000) is available if you choose coverage for yourself.
- Personal Liability Umbrella Insurance is available to managing directors, directors and senior managers. It provides comprehensive catastrophic liability coverage over and above certain limits of the bodily injury and property damage liability insurance the firm requires.
- Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance for you, your spouse and your children is available. AD&D pays benefits in the event you (or your spouse or children) are seriously injured in or die from an accident.
- Business Travel Accident Insurance coverage of $400,000 is provided at no cost and pays a benefit if you die or are seriously injured while traveling on firm-approved business or while commuting to or from work.

Retirement and savings plans
- Save from 1% to 100% of eligible compensation on a pre- and/or post-tax basis in the 401(k) Savings Plan (if you are at least 21 years old; IRS limits apply). The firm offers a matching contribution on the first 6% of pay saved.
- Eligible staff are automatically enrolled in the Retirement Wealth Builder Plan (Wealth Builder) on their date of hire. The Wealth Builder contribution is funded completely by PwC, and the contribution formula is linked to participants' job levels and in some cases, benefits service with the US firm. New hires also receive a one-time Wealth Builder bonus contribution to jump start their retirement savings.
Disability income coverage
- Through the Short-term Disability (STD) Plan, you may continue to receive from 60% to 100% of your salary for up to 26 weeks if you have at least three months service and become disabled.
- You may purchase Long-Term Disability Plan coverage paying 60% (untaxed) of your base salary (up to $600,000); benefit payments start after 26 weeks of a covered disability, which is generally covered under the STD plan.
