Custom payroll platform in 3–5 weeks. Built-in tax tables, payslip generation, audit trails, and your specific pay structure.
Build me a payroll system with employee profiles, monthly pay runs, tax withholding calculations, PDF payslips, and direct deposit via Stripe
Existing tools are broken. Here's the developer's frustration list.
Gusto, ADP, and Paychex charge $10–$12 per employee per month — at 500 employees that's $72,000/year
Generic payroll tools have no support for custom pay structures or country-specific rules
No white-label option — your employees see the vendor's branding, not yours
Integration with your HR system requires expensive middleware
Data ownership and audit compliance is complicated when data lives in a vendor's cloud
Every feature ships with tests, migrations, and clean API endpoints.
Employee profiles, contracts, offer letters, and contractor classifications
Automated pay runs with salary, hourly, and commission components
Configurable tax tables for income tax, social security, and local taxes
Professional PDF payslips emailed to employees each pay period
Request, approve, and track vacation, sick, and unpaid leave
Automated bank transfers on pay day via Stripe Payouts or bank API
Full immutable audit log of all payroll actions for regulatory compliance
