    Payroll processing that does the maths for you

    Payroll Africa calculates gross pay, income tax, social security and your own deductions for every employee, then produces payslips, bank files and reports from the same run. You check the numbers, approve the run and pay your people, without spreadsheets or manual tax tables.

    How it works

    1. 1

      Add your employees once

      Capture salary, pay frequency, tax details and banking information, or import them from a spreadsheet or your old payroll system.

    2. 2

      Start a pay run

      Choose the period and Payroll Africa pulls in salaries, recurring items, approved overtime, claims, leave and loan repayments automatically.

    3. 3

      Review and approve

      Every employee's gross-to-net is shown line by line. Make changes, recalculate and approve when the totals look right.

    4. 4

      Pay and share payslips

      Download the bank file, send payslips by email, SMS or WhatsApp, and export the payroll journal to your accounting system.

    How it helps your business

    Fewer mistakes

    Tax and contributions come from configured country rules, not hand-typed formulas.

    Hours saved every month

    Recurring items, approved hours and claims flow in by themselves, so a pay run takes minutes.

    One source of truth

    Payslips, bank files, reports and journals all come from the same approved run.

    Mixed pay schedules

    Weekly wage earners and monthly salaried staff can sit side by side in one company.

    Built for real-world pay structures

    Add company-specific earnings and deductions such as allowances, bonuses, commission, medical aid, pension or provident funds, union fees and garnishees. Set them once as recurring items or add them to a single run.

    • Weekly, fortnightly and monthly runs
    • Recurring and once-off pay items
    • Cost centres and departments
    • Locked history once a run is paid

    Payslips your employees understand

    Choose a payslip design, add your logo and send payslips in bulk. Employees can also open every payslip in their own self-service portal.
