Changes to Sage Payroll billing

We’re changing our pricing and billing model for Sage Payroll customers in the UK. This article explains what the new model is and how it affects you as a Sage Payroll customer.

What's changing?

We’ve introduced a new pricing and billing model for Sage Payroll customers in the UK, transitioning to a per-employee-per-month basis.

This pricing model introduces a scalable, flexible way to manage your payroll expenses as your business evolves.

You only pay for the resources you use and this allows you to configure your own HR and Payroll package to suit your needs.

Each tier scales its pricing based on the number of employees. We've developed a simple method to quickly calculate your monthly and annual payroll costs under the new model.

2. Count your employees: Determine the total number of employees for the month.
