Payslips, Revenue Submissions and My Future Fund, Handled Every Pay Day.
Hand your payroll to a specialist team that runs it on time, every time. We get your employees' tax credits from Revenue, calculate PAYE, USC and PRSI, report every pay run, and calculate My Future Fund pension contributions. In January, the new rates and the new minimum wage are set up for you.
Add your employees' hourly rates and hours for a quick estimate. We'll flag anyone the new minimum wage affects, show where the employer PRSI threshold changes things, estimate My Future Fund contributions, and price your payroll.
An estimate to help you plan, not a payroll calculation. It uses the adult minimum wage and doesn't allow for workers under 20, Class S directors, existing pension schemes or irregular hours. We confirm everything when we set up your payroll.
Announced in Budget 2027. We set every change up in your payroll before your first pay run of the year.
Up 79 cent an hour from €14.15. Younger workers' rates rise in proportion.
The weekly pay level where the higher employer PRSI rate starts rises from €552.
The 20% income tax band for a single person rises from €44,000, with higher tax credits.
Extended from €28,700, so full-time minimum wage workers stay out of the 3% rate.
Budget measures are subject to the Finance Act. We apply the final figures Revenue publishes, and each employee's 2027 tax credits from Revenue.
One fixed monthly fee, whatever happens in the month. Choose how often you pay your staff.
Monthly €59.99, fortnightly €79.99, weekly €99.99
Monthly €129.99, fortnightly €169.99, weekly €209.99
Prices exclude VAT at 23%. Packages renew monthly by direct debit and cover your regular pay runs at the frequency chosen. Off-cycle pay runs, corrections caused by late or incorrect information, and complex benefit-in-kind or termination calculations are quoted separately. Employer PAYE and My Future Fund registration are one-off charges, if you need them.
We get each employee's Revenue Payroll Notification, so the right tax is deducted from day one.
Calculated every pay run, with the new rates and credits applied from your first pay run in January.
Every pay run reported to Revenue on time, and the monthly amount to pay confirmed to you.
We calculate employee and employer contributions through payroll, reconcile them, and support your employer tasks on the My Future Fund portal. You pay the contributions through the official arrangements.
Clear electronic payslips sent to your employees every pay day.
New employees set up and leavers processed correctly with Revenue.

If you'd rather run payroll in-house, we set up and train you on two leading Irish cloud payroll systems.
The system we run payroll on. We set it up and train your team to use it.
Set-up, licence and one-to-one training, so your team can run payroll with confidence.
Stuck at month end or short-staffed? We can step in and run payroll for you.
Plenty of practices no longer run payroll themselves. We run your clients' payroll under your name or ours, and you keep the client relationship.
January is the easiest time to switch, with a clean start to the tax year. We can also take over part-way through the year.
Tell us how many people you pay and how often.
Your employer registration number, employee details and your last payroll from your current provider.
Employees added, tax credits requested from Revenue, and My Future Fund status checked.
Before each pay day, tell us about hours, overtime, bonuses, starters and leavers.
We run payroll, send payslips, report to Revenue and tell you what to pay.
From €29.99 + VAT a month for 1 or 2 directors, €59.99 for up to 5 employees paid monthly, and €129.99 for up to 15. Fortnightly and weekly payrolls cost a little more because there are more pay runs. Over 15 employees, we quote. Try the 2027 checker to see your price.
The national minimum wage rises to €14.94 an hour, the weekly threshold for the higher employer PRSI rate rises to €600, the standard rate income tax band and tax credits go up, and the USC 2% band extends to €30,300. My Future Fund contributions stay at 1.5% for employers and employees. We set all of this up before your first pay run. More in our January 2027 payroll guide.
Every package with employees includes it. We calculate employee and employer contributions through payroll each pay run, reconcile them, and support your employer tasks on the My Future Fund portal. As the employer, you pay the contributions through the official My Future Fund arrangements. If you still need to register as an employer, we do that for a one-off €49.99 + VAT.
If the only people on your payroll are directors paying Class S PRSI, there are no eligible employees, so you don't need to register until you take on staff. Our Director package is built for this.
You must register with Revenue as an employer before you pay anyone. We do this for €99.99 + VAT, then set up your payroll.
Yes. We pick up from your last pay run using your current provider's records, so your employees' year-to-date figures stay correct. Switching in January is simplest, and set-up is free if you switch by 31 January 2027 and stay with us for at least 6 months.
Yes. Catch-up payroll for earlier periods is charged per payslip: €4 weekly, €5 fortnightly or €6 monthly, with a €20 minimum per pay run.
Hours, overtime, bonuses and any starters or leavers, a few days before pay day. We do the rest and tell you exactly what to pay your staff and Revenue.
Yes. We set up and train on SimplePay and CloudPay, with one-to-one training at €199.99 + VAT for 2 hours.
Yes, under your name or ours, at preferential partner rates. See partner options.
Tell us about your payroll and we'll confirm your price and start date within one working day. No payment today.
