HRSoftwareAfrica's small business payroll gives Nigerian SMEs automated gross-to-net computation, PAYE/pension/NHF compliance, direct salary disbursement and instant payslips — with simple setup, per-employee pricing and a free plan to start.
Set up in a day
Import staff from a spreadsheet, set salaries, run payroll — no consultants required.
Compliance without a tax adviser
PAYE, pension and NHF compute correctly with remittance schedules ready to file.
Priced for SMEs
Free plan for small teams; paid plans per employee per month at ₦[placeholder] rates.
No payroll knowledge needed
Guided runs and plain-language reports — the software knows the rules so you don't have to.
Payroll problems small businesses actually have
You're not struggling with 'workforce cost optimization' — you're trying to pay eight people correctly by Friday, remember whose salary changed, deduct that advance from March, and figure out what PAYE to remit so there's no penalty later. Small business payroll should solve exactly that, without enterprise complexity or enterprise prices.
Setup takes a day, not a project: add employees (or import a spreadsheet), set salaries, and run. PAYE, pension and NHF compute automatically; payslips send themselves; the remittance schedule tells you exactly what to pay each agency.
Grows when you do
Start with payroll. When you're ready, the same account switches on leave tracking, attendance, staff loans and self-service — no migration, because it's all one platform. Many customers start on the free plan and upgrade as headcount grows.
