Payroll cost by number of employees

Payroll providers charge a base fee plus a fee per person paid. Enter your headcount to compare published monthly prices.

Entry-level full-service plans only. Higher tiers add HR, time tracking and benefits at higher prices. Rippling, ADP and Paychex quote on request, so they aren't in the calculator.

How we compare

Prices and features come from each vendor's own pricing and help pages, read on October 8, 2026. "Not stated" means the vendor's public pages don't say. We haven't counted features we couldn't confirm. We don't accept payment for rankings; some links earn us a commission (see the disclosure above). Vendors change prices often, so check the vendor's page before you buy.
