The cost of drug testing for employers can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of test, the number of employees being tested, and the specific substances being screened. On average, the cost per test can range from $30 to $100, but this can increase for more comprehensive panels or specialized testing.
Factors Influencing Cost:
Type of Test: Urine tests are the most common and typically the least expensive. Hair, saliva, and blood tests tend to be more costly due to their more complex procedures and the additional equipment required.
Testing Frequency: The overall cost is affected by how often testing is conducted—whether it's pre-employment, random, or for-cause testing.
Panel Size: A standard 5-panel test is generally less expensive than a 10-panel or extended panel test, which screens for more substances.
Volume Discounts: Employers testing a large number of employees may receive discounts from testing providers.
Location and Logistics: On-site testing might incur additional costs for transportation and staffing, while off-site testing may involve expenses related to travel and scheduling.
