Perks+ PRO Club

To help support your wellbeing in a way that's convenient and relevant for you, the Perks+ Program provides you with the PRO Club option (with this option, Microsoft pays for a portion of your membership, minus an employee cost share). You can elect the PRO Club option when you’re hired or during yearly Open Enrollment. Note: After you make your election, you won’t be able to change it until the next Open Enrollment.

Employees living in Washington State have the option of electing PRO Club membership.

 

All corporate U.S. benefits-eligible Microsoft employees, interns, and visiting researchers who reside in Washington state are eligible for the Perks+ PRO Club gym membership option. If your spouse or domestic partner is also a Microsoft employee, you're both eligible to participate. Spouses and domestic partners who are not Microsoft employees are ineligible for the Perks+ PRO Club gym membership option. 

Note: Retail employees are not eligible for the PRO Club option but are eligible for Perks+ reimbursement. 

 

We are committed to equalizing as much as possible our investment across the Perks+ benefit choices for all US employees. For 2026, Microsoft will pay an annual amount of $1,715.72 towards your PRO Club membership. Your responsibility will be a $67 per month cost share. The full value of the annual membership is $2,514.25 ($1,715.72 paid by Microsoft plus $798.54 paid by you). You'll pay imputed income tax on the value of the Microsoft paid portion of your PRO Club membership, reflected in your paycheck. Assuming a 22 percent supplemental tax rate, $377.46 is the amount of tax you'd pay annually.

Shared Membership-Add-Ons

PRO Club memberships are now a Shared Membership – a flexible and inclusive membership that stretches beyond the typical traditional constraints of membership. How it works: 

 

  • A Shared Membership consists of one Primary member and up to nine (9) additional Add-On members. 
  • The Primary member takes all financial responsibility of the membership. 
  • The Primary member can add anyone they’d like to the membership – not just family living in the same household. There is a $50 processing fee each time you add a member to your Shared Membership. The $50 processing fee is waived in January for employees electing as part of Open Enrollment or in the employee's first month of membership if electing as a new employee.  
  • The Primary member can add and remove members at any time via PRO Club’s Connect App. A member must be removed with a calendar month's notice.

Reach out to the PRO Club membership team at membership@proclub.com to talk about the options and ask any questions. 

 

  • Existing PRO Club Members can learn more about the Shared Membership model, associated rates, and overall member experience by going to the membership update page on the PRO Club site.  

 

Taxes 

All Perks+ benefit options (Perks+ and PRO Club) are subject to imputed income tax, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This means that Microsoft pays the monthly PRO Club membership dues and you pay taxes on those dues. To comply with IRS requirements, Microsoft annually reviews and adjusts the fair market value of club memberships. The imputed income is adjusted according to the most recent valuation. Because of this, you will see the value of the Microsoft funded portion of your PRO Club membership added to your paycheck as taxable earnings and you will pay taxes on that amount. To learn more, see the Tax Info tab on the Plan Documents & Tax Info page.

You can elect the PRO Club option when you’re hired or during yearly Open Enrollment. If you enroll during Open Enrollment, your PRO Club membership is active January 1. For new hires, your membership is active from your election date. All memberships are effective through December 31. 

Note: After you make your election, you won’t be able to change it until the next Open Enrollment.
