Board
Your band: 251 – 2,500 participants — enrollment can move anywhere in this range at no change in price.

If enrollment moves
WIOA volume is counter-cyclical: a downturn sends dislocated workers through your doors, and a tight labor market drains the caseload again. You should never be re-quoted because the economy moved. We price on the Board band (251 – 2,500 participants) at a committed $48,000 a year, measured on a rolling average of monthly active participants — never a peak-day snapshot. If you did sustain a surge, the first 625 participants above the ceiling would prorate at $3,750, at a declining marginal rate after that.

We attach the figures from the calculator above — 2,500 participants, Board tier, $48,000 a year, $189,500 in projected savings — so the first conversation starts from your own volume, not a generic deck.
