How is Paid free?

We believe core payroll should be free.

Paid is able to offer free core payroll services due to the financial products offered to your business and your employees. Our revenue is generated through premium features and services that are complementary to payroll and that help optimize your business’s success and employee engagement.

When employers and employees are in complete alignment and leveraging premium services for their mutual benefit - payroll can be free.

Are there any fees?

Our core payroll features are completely free for employers. Optional premium features and additional services for both employers and employees are clearly outlined and priced, with no surprises. Learn more about Paid's premium features.
