Hand your payroll to a local expert
Free, no obligation, and it takes about two minutes.
Director-only payroll
Even if you're the only person on the payroll, as a company director taking a salary, you still need to run payroll and file RTI submissions. It's often bundled into a limited company accountancy package at little or no extra cost.
Payroll questions
How much does outsourced payroll cost?
As a rough guide, from about £5 to £15 per employee per month, often with a minimum monthly fee. Auto-enrolment and year-end work may be charged separately.
What happens if payroll is filed late?
HMRC can charge penalties for late RTI submissions and late payment of PAYE. A payroll provider makes sure everything is filed on time every pay period.
