  • What is the best payroll software to use?

    Experts and clients say OnPay is the best, but it’s important to weigh your options. Start by making a list of top payroll features you’d like to have in a payroll service, and compare providers. Once you’ve narrowed down your options, look for a provider that offers easy setup, automated tax filings, and responsive support. OnPay checks all these boxes, making it a top choice for business owners who want hassle-free payroll.

  • What is the average cost of payroll software?

    Great question! Payroll software pricing can vary from provider to provider. OnPay is a single monthly fee of $49, plus $6 per worker each. No pricing tiers, no sneaky add-ons, and your first month is free! Plus, this low monthly rate includes our top-rated payroll and flexible HR tools.

  • How does OnPay’s free setup work?

    Whether you’re brand new to payroll or switching from another provider, we’ll help you get up and running smoothly.
