Pricing

Pay per payroll, not per month

A flat amount for each pay run, plus a small amount per employee on it. No monthly fee — in a month you don't run payroll, you pay nothing.

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.
Questions

Fair questions, straight answers

Do you move any money?

No. PayRoar gets every number and document ready; you pay your team from your own bank account and send the CRA the monthly amount we prepare. Direct deposit and automatic CRA payments are on our roadmap — we'll say so loudly when they're real, not before.

How do I know the deductions are right?

They follow the CRA's own published payroll formulas, and we verify our results against the CRA's official calculator. Every number on every stub is one you — or your accountant — can reproduce. We think being checkable is a feature.

Can I switch from QuickBooks / another system mid-year?

Yes. Enter each employee's totals from your old system once, and everything continues correctly — nobody gets double-deducted, and saved-up vacation pay carries over.

What about T4s at year-end?

Every employee's T4 comes out filled in from the year's pay records — no re-entering numbers. Sending the slips to the CRA is still yours to do: copy the boxes into the CRA's free online filing tool, or hand them to your accountant.

Which provinces do you support?

Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario — each employee is paid under their own province's taxes and employment rules (Ontario's surtax and Health Premium included). Other provinces are planned, but we won't run payroll for a province until its taxes are done and checked — a payroll tool that's quietly wrong is worse than one that's honestly limited.

What happens to my data if I leave?

Pay runs are permanent records kept the way the CRA expects (six years). You can download every stub and PD7A as PDFs at any time, including before you cancel.

Try it on your next payroll run

Set up takes one sitting: company, employees, schedule. Then run a payroll side by side with your current system and compare every number.
