Hiring your first employee? Payroll just became your job
The moment you take on staff, UK law makes you responsible for running payroll properly: every worker must receive an itemised payslip on or before payday, and payroll figures need to be reviewed before HMRC submission.
LedgerlyPro helps prepare employee records, user-reviewed deductions, PDF payslips and accountant-ready payroll summary figures. Payslips are downloaded for secure distribution.
Why flat-rate payroll saves growing businesses money
LedgerlyPro includes payroll tools on the £9.99/month Premium plan alongside invoicing, expenses, Controlled Statement Import and tax-planning figures. Check that the tools support the payroll and filing scope your business requires.
| Employees | Typical per-employee provider | LedgerlyPro Premium |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | ~£12–£18/month | £9.99/month |
| 10 | ~£40–£60/month | £9.99/month |
| 25 | ~£90–£130/month | £9.99/month |
Figures are indicative market ranges for comparison. LedgerlyPro keeps payroll tools inside the Premium plan instead of adding a separate per-employee software fee.
Payroll that's part of your books
LedgerlyPro keeps employee records, payslips and monthly payroll summaries beside your bookkeeping workspace, making it easier to review payroll information with your accountant. Payroll figures remain indicative and are not RTI submissions.
- Wages flow automatically into your profit and cash-flow view
- Employer NI and pension costs captured as expenses
- Your accountant sees payroll and books in one read-only link
- Digital records stay organised for VAT and Income Tax review
When a free payslip template is enough — and when it isn't.
