Payroll pricing
R 249,00 a month as an add-on to the Freelancer, Starter and Growth plans, and included from Professional. Ten employees are included. Beyond that you pay for each employee paid in the month, in bands, like tax brackets:
| Employees paid in the month | Per employee |
|---|---|
| 1 to 10 | Included |
| 11 to 50 | R 25 |
| 51 to 200 | R 20 |
| 201 and more | R 15 |
For example, 20 employees paid in a month cost 10 × R 25,00 = R 250,00 on top of the monthly price. See all pricing.
Questions about NUMBAAS payroll software
How is PAYE worked out?
From SARS's official tax tables for each tax year, which NUMBAAS publishes before 1 March. Each amount on a payslip carries its SARS source code, so your EMP201, IRP5s and EMP501 reconcile with what you paid.
Can I pay staff weekly or fortnightly?
Yes. Pay monthly, fortnightly or weekly, salaried or hourly. Payroll is priced per employee paid in the month, not per payslip, so paying weekly costs no more.
Can employees see their own payslips?
Yes. Employee self-service shows payslips, leave balances and IRP5s, and lets employees request leave and changes to their details for payroll to approve.
Do I need the HR add-on to pay people?
No. Payroll covers paying people, payslips, leave and IRP5s. HR adds structure, job descriptions, performance, recruitment, employment equity, discipline and skills on top.
What does payroll cost?
R 249,00 a month as an add-on to Freelancer, Starter or Growth, and included from Professional. 10 employees are included, then R 25, R 20 or R 15 for each employee paid in the month, in bands.
