FAQ

No such thing as a bad question.

No such thing as a bad question
01

How much does Payfit cost?

The cost depends on your business size and the level of support you need. Our plans scale with your team, from self-managed payroll to a fully dedicated expert team handling your pay runs.

02

Are there any additional fees?

No. Payfit runs on a straightforward monthly subscription: you pay per employee, with no hidden charges on top. That means no extra fees for adding a new starter, processing a leaver, submitting a bonus at the last minute, running corrections, or getting support from our team. Onboarding is also included at no extra cost, with a dedicated expert to set up your account from day one.

03

Does Payfit cover all industries?

Whatever your sector, from insurance and tech to professional services, our experts and Payfit AI adapt to your specific pay rules and requirements. We manage the calculations and compliance, you keep full visibility.

04

Will I have dedicated support for my business?

Yes. Our payroll experts handle the technical side: HMRC compliance, your specific pay rules, and payment after leaving for departing employees. They know your account and offer personalised solutions. Ahead of each payroll run, Payfit AI proactively detects anomalies and handles what it can, so you can focus on your business.

05

Why use payroll software?

Managing payroll without expert support means exposure to costly errors, and hours spent on admin you don't have. We combine human expertise and AI to run your payroll: reliable, compliant, transparent. You keep full visibility, without the complexity.

06

How do I use Payfit?

Access your admin space from any device, at any time. You choose your level of involvement: manage payroll yourself, or hand it over to our experts and Payfit AI. Your employees get their own space to view payslips, request leave, and more. However you want to work, we adapt.
