Reckon Payroll overview

What is Reckon Payroll?

Payroll software that simplifies the management of wages, leave, super, and Single Touch Payroll, all for just $16 per month. Unlike other payroll solutions, you won't be charged based on the number of employees you have, saving you money as your business grows. Intuitive navigation, clear workflows, and simple data entry make paying your staff easy, allowing you to dedicate more time to running your business.

Key benefits of using Reckon Payroll

- Quick & easy payroll software: A modern design and clear workflows make managing pay runs, wages, leave, superannuation and Single Touch Payroll a breeze.

Simply enter your default settings, add employee details and hit pay!

- Unlimited employees: Easily manage wages, leave, super and STP for unlimited employees. Our pricing isn’t based on your employee count. So, for just $16/month you can add as many employees as you need - saving you money as you expand.

- STP Phase 2 and ATO compliant: Process pay runs & send your STP reports directly to the ATO each payday in just a click. You can even keep track of ATO messages and access past submissions.

- Automatic compliance updates: It’s simple to stay up to date with the latest payroll and tax compliance changes with updates such as PAYG tax tables, superannuation guarantee rates and SuperStream requirements automatically pushed into Reckon.

- Trusted Australian payroll software: Our payroll software is designed and built for the Australian market with local support available when you need it.

Reckon is a proud Australian, publicly listed company with over 30 years of experience in the industry - so your payroll is in safe hands!
