The easiest way to run flexible stipends and LSAs

Benefits that reflect the needs of your entire workforce, not just some. Give your team unmatched flexibility while reducing manual admin to 30 minutes a month — plus, only pay for what actually gets used.

Effortless guardrails

Define your budget and categories (like wellness or learning) once. Compt enforces your eligibility rules so every dollar spent aligns with your policy.

Automate tax & payroll

Our built-in tax engine identifies taxable vs. nontaxable expenses and syncs directly with your payroll. No more manual math.

Impact you can measure

Data you need to prove your program’s worth with a visible connection between company values and an average 93% participation rate.

One home for your stipends, rewards, and more

Why manage a dozen different vendors or get buried in a mountain of one-off requests? Compt gives you the flexibility to support your people’s individual needs under the guardrails you set up once.

Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSAs)

Whether your team is in NYC, Canada, Ukraine, or the Philippines, LSAs provide employees with equitable support to spend their stipends on what they value.

Wellness

Give your team a wellness benefit beyond the gym membership. Whether it’s therapy, groceries, or new sneakers, give your team a wellness benefit that actually fits their life.

Professional Development

Stop the back-and-forth over course approvals. Approve learning requests in seconds with built-in manager workflows, so your team gets what they need to grow and you get the oversight you’ve been missing.

Family & Caregiving

Life doesn’t happen in a one-size-fits-all box. From IVF to emergency childcare and support for aging parents, give your team the flexibility to handle big moments without the financial stress.
