What you get
Included in our Limited Company package from £104.50/month. Extra employees from £5/month each.
All Included
Every part of UK payroll — all in one fee
Payroll has a lot of moving parts. We handle every one of them so you don't have to keep on top of HMRC deadlines, pension rules, or tax-code changes.
Monthly payroll processing
Salaries, dividends timing, bonuses and deductions — calculated and posted on the same date each month so your team is paid on time, every time.
RTI submissions to HMRC
Full Payment Submission (FPS) every pay run and Employer Payment Summary (EPS) where required — filed in real time as HMRC requires.
Payslips for directors & staff
Branded, compliant digital payslips delivered to every employee. Available in FreeAgent and via email — no paper, no fuss.
P60s & P11Ds at year-end
Annual certificates of pay for every employee and benefits-in-kind reporting for directors — all prepared, filed, and distributed by us.
Pension auto-enrolment
Assessment, enrolment, ongoing contributions and re-enrolment every three years — fully managed in line with The Pensions Regulator's rules.
PAYE & NI calculations
Correct tax codes, NI categories, student loan deductions, attachment of earnings orders — handled correctly so HMRC isn't writing to you.
Director & employee changes
New starters, leavers, P45s, salary changes, address updates — all reflected in the next pay run with no admin from your side.
Unlimited payroll advice
Ring your accountant whenever you have a question. Optimal director salary, dividend timing, statutory pay, redundancy — no per-question charges.
Why It Matters
Payroll mistakes are the expensive kind
HMRC, The Pensions Regulator, and your own employees all see payroll errors immediately. Getting it right matters — and getting it optimised saves real money.
RTI penalties stack up fast
HMRC fines start at £100 per month for late Full Payment Submissions and escalate by employer size. One missed deadline can cost more than a year of accountancy fees.
Auto-enrolment isn't optional
If you employ anyone — including a sole director — you're a pension scheme employer. The Pensions Regulator can fine non-compliance up to £10,000 a day for serious breaches.
Director salary affects your tax bill
The right director salary balances NI threshold, Corporation Tax relief, and state pension qualifying years. Getting it wrong typically costs £500–£2,000 a year in unnecessary tax.
Mistakes are visible to employees
Wrong tax code, missed pension contribution, late payslip — employees notice instantly. Payroll errors damage trust faster than almost any other admin mistake.
