When calculating payroll costs, many businesses get stung by “hidden” year-end or tax-filing charges.
AccuPay’s pricing is all-inclusive of the essentials:
One of the most common questions we hear is: “How much does payroll cost for my specific business?” > Most payroll providers use a Base Fee + Per Employee pricing model. At AccuPay, we believe in transparency. For a standard small business with 10 employees, you can expect a base cost starting around $100.00 per pay run.
However, the final price depends on three primary factors:
Employee Count: The more people you pay, the lower your “per-head” cost becomes at scale.
Pay Frequency: Weekly payrolls incur more processing fees than bi-weekly or semi-monthly schedules.
Integrated Services: Adding HR tools like Applicant Tracking, Benefits Administration, or an LMS will adjust your monthly investment but significantly reduce your administrative overhead.
