FAQs

  • How does OnPay’s free trial work?

    We offer a 30-day free trial so you can explore everything that OnPay has to offer—no strings attached. During your trial, you’ll have full access to our payroll and HR tools, and you can run as many pay runs as you’d like.

  • When does the 30-day trial begin?

    Your 30-day trial won’t start until you’re fully set up and ready to run payroll. Whether you’re brand new to the payroll process or switching from another provider, we’ll make sure everything’s in place first—so you get the most out of your trial.

  • What is the best payroll software to try?

    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! This low monthly rate includes our top-rated payroll and flexible HR tools.

  • Can you do payroll without software?

    You definitely could, but when it comes to tax filings and payments, even small mistakes can lead to costly — and mostly avoidable — penalties. Payroll software helps automate calculations, keep you compliant with the latest tax laws, and save time by handling the heavy lifting — so you can focus more on growing your business instead of crunching numbers.

  • 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. If you’ve never paid employees before, our team can help enter employee details and guide you through hiring in OnPay. Once you’ve completed our 7-step self-onboarding process and your bank account is verified, your trial will begin. If your business has payroll history, we’ll enter your prior wages and employee info for you, so filings stay accurate at month, quarter, and year-end. Either way, we’re happy to handle the heavy lifting to make switching easy.

  • How long does it take to set up an account and start running payroll?

    You can get set up super fast —- we’ll just need some basic details so our team can help assist you with your setup. And our in-house payroll experts will do all the heavy lifting to set up your account and migrate employee data. We’ll even enter any prior wages to make it easy to switch. And can have you up and running in a matter of days.
