Frequently Asked Questions
-
When should you outsource payroll?
There is no good time to outsource your payroll, you can choose to do this at any time of the year – it all depends on what your business needs. However, many people choose to outsource their payroll towards the end of the financial year as the payroll management company will help to get everything in order for HMRC.
- How does outsourcing payroll work? You will need to supply the employee data each month, such as hours worked, rates of pay and any statutory pay that needs to be included. Your payroll provider will then work out each employee’s gross pay and make all the necessary deductions. They will then organise the payslips and distribute them, and pay each employee correctly and on time.
- Is outsourcing payroll cost-effective? One thing that many people find to be a drawback to outsourcing payroll is the cost – it can cost between £4-£6 per employee per month. However, when you compare this to how much time you will save and the reduced risk of fines and penalties, then outsourcing payroll can actually end up saving you money in the long run.
- Why should payroll services be outsourced? Payroll services should be outsourced to help save your business time, money and remain compliant. While you might think that it sounds easy to process all the payroll in house, it is also extremely time consuming and requires dedication, accuracy and keeping in line with ever changing legislation. In order to make your work life hassle free, consider using a payroll service provider who can do all this for you – leaving you free to think about more important things.
- Do I need a payroll service for my small business to large? It does not matter what size of business you have when looking at outsourcing payroll management – the benefits are suitable for everyone. You will be letting an experienced and specialist company do the hard work of payroll for you and ensure that you are compliant with all current legislation no matter how large or small your company is.

Why outsource my payroll services?
In terms of cost and budget, many people think that operating payroll in house is the better option. However, this role requires a lot of dedication, time, and accuracy, otherwise you will end up with errors that need to be corrected. Many businesses find that outsourcing payroll is less time consuming and cheaper in the long run.
- How much do payroll services cost in the UK? It will depend on which company you use to outsource your payroll to, but in general you can expect to pay between £4- £6 per employee per month, plus £2 per new employee set up. There are also options for pension enrolment and HR integration per month that you may need to consider into the monthly budget.

How do I do my own payroll?
You will need to collect accurate data for each member of staff including personal details, national insurance numbers, start date, tax code, national insurance category, student loan repayments, normal weekly hours worked, and how frequently the employee is paid. You will also need to work out any statutory pay including sick pay and maternity pay. This needs to be done on time every month otherwise expensive penalties will incur.
