H-2A Program Cost Estimator

The H-2A program has a reputation for being expensive, but many growers underestimate the full all-in cost while others overestimate it and make decisions based on incomplete comparisons. This estimator calculates the complete H-2A cost per worker per season, including AEWR wages, housing, inbound transportation, agent/attorney fees, and incidental compliance costs — giving you an accurate benchmark for decision-making.
