Hiring a full-time church administrator involves far more than a salary. Payroll taxes, benefits, paid time off, and compliance requirements quickly increase the true cost of employment. Administry offers a simpler, more sustainable solution.

True Cost of Hiring an In-House Administrator
When a church hires a full-time employee, it’s not just salary. Employers in the U.S. typically pay 1.25×–1.4× an employee’s base salary once you include payroll taxes and benefits. Hiring Administry is a cost-saving way of protecting your church's finances and provides an option to sow into other areas of the church.
The standard base salary for a Church Administrator is $40,000 – $50,000/year as opposed to partnering with Administry for $9,588 - $21,588/year.
