Get compliant with your first hire in minutes, then scale to a full team without ever switching payroll systems.
Do I need payroll software for just one or two employees?
Not strictly — but PAYE tax tables change every tax year, and getting UIF/EMP201 wrong from the start creates cleanup work later. Most founders find automated payroll cheaper than the time it costs to do manually, even with a small team.
Fast first-hire setup
Register your first employee and run compliant payroll in minutes, not days.
Grows with your team
No need to migrate systems as you go from 1 to 50 employees — one account, the whole way.
PAYE compliance
Automatically calculate PAYE using official SARS tax tables from your very first payslip.
SARS EMP201 on time
Monthly submissions pre-populated and ready to submit on the 7th — never miss a deadline.
Founder-friendly pricing
Flat monthly pricing that makes sense for lean early-stage teams.
Compensation history
Track salary changes and equity-adjacent compensation notes as your team's pay evolves.
Not strictly, but tax tables change every year, and getting registration and calculations wrong early creates cleanup work later.
Payroll handles cash salary and statutory deductions; equity/share option administration is usually a separate process alongside payroll.
With the right setup, registering and running a compliant first payslip can be done within a day.
