PayRoar.
Payroll for AB, BC and Ontario small businesses

Payday in minutes, not evenings.

Type in the hours; PayRoar works out every deduction, builds the pay stubs and tells you exactly what to send the CRA.

Deductions follow the CRA's own payroll formulas.
Sound familiar?

Payroll shouldn't be the hardest part of your week

Payday eats your evening

Rate lookups, a spreadsheet you half-trust and an hour of double-checking; every single pay period, all year long.

The CRA makes you nervous

Deduct too little and it's penalties and back-payments. Deduct too much and your employees pay for your caution. You shouldn't need to be a tax expert to feel sure.

Questions you can't answer

"Why is my cheque smaller this week?" Your employees deserve a better answer than a shrug.

How it works

Three simple steps

Set up once

Add your company, your people and when you pay them. Coming from another system mid-year? Bring your totals over in one form so nothing resets, nobody gets double-deducted.

Enter the hours

Hours, tips, commission, piece counts; whatever your pay period looked like. Every deduction is calculated for you, down to the cent, with nothing to look up.

Pay and move on

Download ready-to-hand-out pay stubs, pay your team from your own bank and at month-end see exactly what to send the CRA. Tidy, filed, done.

What changes for you

Less worry, fewer questions, shorter paydays

Deductions right, every time

CPP, EI and income tax come out correct on every cheque including the edge cases you'd never think to check, like yearly maximums or an employee turning 18 or 70.

Fewer payday questions

Pay stubs show each kind of pay on its own line, with running totals for the year. When a cheque changes, the stub explains why.

Month-end without guesswork

One page shows exactly what to send the CRA for the month; the number, ready when you are, instead of an hour of reverse-engineering a spreadsheet. And when T4 season arrives, every employee's slip comes out filled in from the same records.

Vacation pay that minds itself

Pay it out on every cheque, or let it build up; the balance tracks itself to the cent and paying it out on a final cheque is one click.

Real-world pay, handled

Tips, commission, piece work, overtime, bonuses, stat holidays; all handled for you.

Mistakes stay fixable

Ran a payroll wrong? Void it and run it again. The correction leaves a clean paper trail your accountant will thank you for.

What we don't do (yet)

We'd rather tell you now than surprise you later. PayRoar gets every number and document ready for you — moving the money is still yours to do.

  • No direct deposit. You pay your team from your own bank (e-transfer or cheque) using the net pay on each stub.
  • No automatic CRA payments. We tell you exactly how much to send each month; you make the payment yourself.
  • No T4 filing yet. At year-end we fill in every employee's T4 for you; filing is still yours to do. Copy the numbers into the CRA's free online filing tool or hand the slips to your accountant.
  • Alberta, BC and Ontario only, for now.
Who it's for

Built for how your business actually pays

Make your next payday the easy one.

Set up your company in one sitting. When payday comes, you'll enter the hours, hand out the stubs and be done before your coffee goes cold.
