How Much Does It Cost To Use a Payroll Company?
Like all service businesses, prices vary based on many factors, but for basic payroll processing, the pricing is (or at least should be) pretty straightforward.
At APlus Payroll, the cost starts at a $55.00 base fee plus $2.60 for each employee, per payroll. A one-time setup fee is charged as well which covers accurately transferring your historical data as well as training.

One of your most important responsibilities as a business owner is payroll. In addition to enhancing employee satisfaction, accurate payroll keeps you in compliance. Whether you run a small business with a few employees or a large enterprise with thousands of workers, payroll can quickly become complex as you grow, have workers in multiple states, and become subject to legislative requirements regarding payroll, HR, and benefits
Whatever day payday lands on, it’s safe to say that it is the day the workforce looks forward to most as they rely heavily on their paychecks. A company’s financial security and reputation are reflected in its ability to make sure the payroll process is on time and accurate. When paychecks are not made on time or errors occur, employees may lose trust in the company. The more accurate and timely paychecks are, the more engaged and motivated employees are.
