Sage Instant Payroll

Sage Instant Payroll is small business payroll software that helps you pay your people quickly and accurately, leaving you more time to concentrate on running your business. Instant Payroll prints all your payslips, and automatically works out payments and deductions including tax, National Insurance, pensions and sick pay.

It’s designed for businesses with up to 10 employees, and is accredited to HM Revenue & Customs’ payroll standard, giving you peace-of-mind about complying with regulations. Step-by-step guides make it easy to submit Year End returns over the internet.

The latest version (version 12) has a fresh new look and improved flexibility, with easier error corrections, holiday year start date, and layouts of payslips. It integrates seamlessly with Sage Instant Accounts, and 45 days free technical support is included on new purchases to get you up and running.
