Overview

PayFit is a UK payroll and HR platform that prepares pay runs for you. Dedicated payroll experts collect data, calculate National Insurance, generate payslips, and submit RTI returns to HMRC. You review and approve before payday. The same product covers leave, expenses, contracts, and performance reviews, with employee self-service for payslips and time off.

Teams pick PayFit when they want managed UK payroll without extra fees for starters, leavers, bonuses, or corrections. Pricing is a monthly per-employee quote that scales from self-managed runs to a dedicated expert team. Payfit AI is included on every plan and flags anomalies, answers policy questions, and handles routine HR tasks. Integrations include Xero, QuickBooks, BambooHR, and HiBob.
