Payroll processing rates

[geekgirldany]

I can tell you my charges which are lower than ADP or Paycycle. I charge $60 a month for one employee. I then add $8 to $10 per employee. This takes care of monthly federal/state deposits and quarterly forms. Yearly forms I charge and extra $50 at the end of the year for them. This does not include payroll check processing. There is a higher charge for that. Right now most of my payroll customers are $60 per month. I have one that has 10 employees. I print his payroll checks, pay his taxes weekly on eftps, and do the other regular payroll work. I charge him $250 per month.

You might want to look at www.paycycle.com. I had a few clients that wanted me to handle payroll but it ties me down to much. I have 5 set up on paycylces. They (the client) do the payroll each pay period but you can duoble check or log on and help out with any problems. I love it. Also does direct deposit, monthly and quarterly filings. You might have to do some local tax filings but check it out.

I tried coming up with pricing a few times years ago, but I always found myself needing to charge so much that I would wind up suggesting that the client go to a payroll service because they do the job so much cheaper.

Just curious what some of you might charge for payroll services for business clients.
Do you charge per employee? By the hour?
