Notes from the source
- The per-worker fee applies to each W-2 or 1099 worker included in a pay run during the billing period, including a $0 net paycheck.
- No extra fee for additional states, unlimited pay runs, or year-end W-2s and 1099s.
- The page headline offers the first month free.
- Standalone add-ons, not included in Payroll Essentials: HR is $15 base plus $2 per worker; time tracking is $15 base plus $4 per worker; compliance resources are $10 base; live HR support is $65 base. Benefits administration is premiums only.
- Bundle cards list a discounted price and a higher pre-discount price. The pre-discount figures are not consistent across the page ($139 vs $149, and $154 vs $164), so only the repeated discounted bundle prices are stored.
