Payroll Manager is a comprehensive, easy to use, HMRC recognised payroll software package used by tens of thousands of small to medium sized businesses, as well as payroll agents, accountants and CIS contractors across the UK. In the first 6 months of tax year 2025-26, more than 2.4 million RTI submissions were successfully filed through our software. Features to support Automatic Enrolment of Workplace Pensions, such as direct reporting to the government backed NEST pension scheme, come as standard in all versions.
Regular automatic updates ensure that your payroll software is always up to date with the latest legislation, including the changes to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) introduced from April 2026, as well as of the relevant income tax, national insurance, student loan, parenting pay and minimum wages rate changes.
