Roper Technologies and the 2025 Tax Overhaul: What Employees Need to Know Now

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Roper Technologies Roper Technologies does not have a single healthcare provider, as employees typically have access to multiple insurance options through their employer-sponsored health plans. These options can include major insurers and health maintenance organizations (HMOs), often chosen based on employee preferences and the benefits provided. Brief on Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As Roper Technologies looks toward 2026, its employees may face significantly increased healthcare costs. Premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans are projected to rise sharply, with some states experiencing hikes of more than 60%. The expiration of enhanced federal subsidies and rising medical costs are significant factors behind this surge, potentially resulting in out-of-pocket premiums soaring by over 75% for many enrollees. This financial strain creates an urgent need for employees to evaluate their health insurance options early and prepare for the financial implications of these changes. Click here to learn more

A New Tax Landscape for Roper Technologies Employees

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed a landmark bill into law that made most of the individual and corporate tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent. For Roper Technologies employees, this legislation could bring long-term effects on income, deductions, and retirement planning. The law also introduces several new tax provisions intended to ease burdens for seniors, families with young children, and those living in high-tax states. While these changes stop the automatic tax increases once slated for December 31, 2025, some provisions will expire after a few years—potentially prompting more political and financial revisions.

Background and Legal Hurdles

Getting the bill passed was complex. Lawmakers balanced the cost of extending the TCJA’s tax breaks by cutting Medicaid spending, reducing some clean energy credits from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, and eliminating personal exemptions. Analysts urge American households to consider how these trade-offs might affect long-term economic growth. Some components may offer modest tax relief for both consumers and businesses, possibly influencing economic momentum.

Core Permanent Provisions

1. Seven Tax Brackets

The structure of seven tax brackets—ranging from 10% to 37%—remains in place. ¹  Adjustments for inflation apply in select cases. Roper Technologies professionals should assess their current income tier to understand its effect on overall tax liability.

2. Mortgage Interest Deduction

Interest on up to $750,000 of acquisition mortgage debt ($375,000 if married filing separately) remains deductible. For Roper Technologies homeowners, this provision may provide continued tax relief depending on loan size and income.

3. SALT Deduction Cap

The $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions will temporarily increase to $40,000 before reverting in 2030. ¹  High-income Roper Technologies earners in states with steep taxes may benefit from this short-term expansion.

4. Standard Deduction

Now permanent, the standard deduction is $15,750 for single filers and $31,500 for joint filers. ¹  These amounts will be adjusted for inflation starting in 2026—making it important for Roper Technologies employees to monitor annual changes.

5. Estate and Gift Tax Exclusion

The estate and gift tax exemption has increased to $15 million per individual and $30 million per couple. ¹  This is especially relevant for Roper Technologies executives with large estates or wealth transfer goals.

6. Charitable Giving Incentives

Above-the-line deductions of $1,000 for single filers and $2,000 for joint filers are reinstated, along with expanded adjusted gross income (AGI) limits for cash donations. Roper Technologies retirees who prioritize charitable giving may find new planning opportunities here.

7. Repeal of Personal Exemption

The $4,050 per filer personal exemption has been permanently eliminated. ¹  Taxpayers continue to rely on enhanced Child Tax Credits and the standard deduction instead.

Temporary Enhancements (2025–2028)

Tax-Free Tips and Overtime

Workers earning under $300,000 (joint) or $150,000 (single) can deduct up to $25,000 in tips and $12,500 in overtime pay. This change may be relevant for Roper Technologies employees in field service or operations roles.

Senior Deduction Boost

An additional $6,000 deduction is now available for individuals over 65, phasing out at incomes of $75,000 (single) and $150,000 (joint). ²  This could affect many long-tenured Roper Technologies employees planning for retirement.

Auto Loan Interest Deduction

Interest on loans for U.S.-assembled vehicles (up to $10,000) is deductible for individuals earning under $100,000 (single) or $200,000 (joint). Roper Technologies families may consider how this could influence their vehicle purchasing plans.

Savings and Health Advances

“Trump Accounts” for Minors

Parents can contribute up to $5,000 annually to a child’s account that later converts to an IRA at age 18. Roper Technologies families with long-term savings goals may consider this strategy.

Expanded Health Savings Account (HSA) Access

Telehealth services are now permanently included, and reimbursements up to $150/month ($300 for families) for direct primary care are allowed. This offers greater flexibility for Roper Technologies workers with high-deductible health plans.

Flexible 529 Plans

Withdrawals from 529 plans now include costs for educational therapy, private tutoring, and testing fees. This expansion may benefit Roper Technologies parents supporting children with specialized learning needs.

Notably Excluded

Despite earlier debate, the new law does not repeal taxation of Social Security benefits. Individuals earning above $34,000 (single) or $44,000 (joint) will continue to have up to 85% of their benefits taxed. The temporary senior deduction, however, may reduce total liability for some.

Looking Ahead

The new law solidifies many tax policies and adds time-sensitive benefits designed for families, seniors, and individuals building long-term plans. Roper Technologies employees may wish to speak with a financial advisor to evaluate how changes intersect with their compensation, equity, and estate considerations. Critical components like the SALT cap window, AGI phase-outs, and inflation-linked thresholds should be revisited each year to capture new opportunities.

Final Thoughts

Think of the 2025 tax act like a home renovation. Some features—like tax-free overtime and enhanced deductions—are temporary extensions that won’t last forever. Others—such as expanded credits and deductions—strengthen the core of the tax code. For Roper Technologies professionals and retirees, now may be the right time to reassess your financial approach and align with the latest legislative updates.

AMT Update

The Alternative Minimum Tax exemption has been set at $88,100 for single filers and $137,000 for joint filers in 2025, and it will be adjusted for inflation starting in 2026. ¹  This provision helps reduce the likelihood that higher earners will fall under AMT obligations due solely to inflation.
