FAQs about automated payroll systems and software

  • How can I automate payroll?

    In most cases, automating payroll starts with software. Instead of manually calculating pay or filling out tax forms, automation tools handle the math for you. Many come with federal tax rates like FUTA and FICA built in, while state unemployment and other local taxes typically need to be entered during setup. But once everything’s in place, payroll runs much more smoothly—payments, withholdings, and tax filings can all happen automatically.

  • What is an automated payroll system?

    An automated payroll system is software that handles payroll tasks for you — without manual data entry or calculations. Instead of crunching numbers and filling out tax forms yourself, the software automatically calculates wages, withholds taxes, processes payments, and files your payroll taxes with federal, state, and local agencies. Modern automated payroll systems like OnPay also sync with your time tracking and accounting software, so hours worked flow directly into payroll and payments post automatically to your books. The result? You spend less time on payroll admin and more time running your business, while reducing errors and staying compliant effortlessly.

  • How much does it cost for me to run payroll for my business?

    It’s a single monthly fee of $49, plus $6 per worker for everything OnPay does. No pricing tiers, no sneaky add-ons.
