Three steps. That’s it.

Fill in the template

Your company name at the top, then one row per employee: name, NRC and basic pay. Add allowances or loan deductions if you have them.

We check every row and tell you in plain words if anything needs fixing — before anything is saved.

Pay and file

Download every payslip in one file, a payment schedule for the bank, and the exact amounts due to ZRA, NAPSA and NHIMA.

Worked out the way ZRA expects.

Rates are kept up to date centrally, so you never type a tax rate yourself. Every run shows the statutory amounts per employee and in total.

  • PAYE on gross pay, band by band (2026 bands)
  • NAPSA 5% employee + 5% employer, capped at K1,861.80 each
  • NHIMA 1% of basic pay, employee and employer
  • Skills Development Levy 0.5% (employer)
  • Your own allowances and deductions printed on each payslip
