Basic Cost. Payroll companies generally charge a basic package fee. According to Resource Nation, fees may range from as small as $25 to as high as $200 per month at publication date. This cost typically includes paycheck processing, online access for employers and employees, direct deposit and basic tax filing.
The market for payroll is competitive and reflects local market conditions. The basic service costs between $0.80 and $2.00 per check, plus a base account fee. The amount of the base fee depends on the pay period, with the less frequent payroll periods costing more. Over a year, however, less frequent payroll periods will cost less to maintain. Added services such as tax filing and direct deposit can cost between $4 and $9 per payroll period. With direct deposit, there is often a nominal transaction charge per check in addition to the base fee.
