What your estimate includes.

We’ve built this calculator to give you a quick, straight-up estimate of your monthly payroll cost.

Your total is based on your employee count and pay frequency. It assumes all employees sit under the same PAYE scheme.

If your setup is more complex, with multiple payrolls or entities, we’ll break it down and give you a more accurate figure.

Implementation fees aren’t included here. These cover employee data onboarding, historical balances, and system setup.

How we charge.

Payroll Outsourcing Cost - Pay As You Go

Our cloud technology platform allows DNA to charge a fee per payslip per pay period – monthly, weekly or bi-weekly. This fee per payslip is influenced by the size of the payroll. The more payslips you have the smaller the fee per payslip, i.e. a volumes-based discount applies. You only pay for the number of payslip we process. If your workforce declines you pay less, if it grows you pay more. This “Pay As You Go” principle is especially useful for businesses with seasonal workforces or any business whose workforce fluctuates regularly. The complexity of the payroll could also influence the price per payslip. Separate runs are charged at the same rate per payslip as normal runs.

Minimum Fee

DNA charges a minimum fee of R5,500 for South African payrolls and R7,500 minimum fee for Payrolls outside of South Africa. This fee covers the first 40 employees, and a fee per payslip (as per point 1 above) is charged for additional payslips above 40 employees

Implementation Cost

A once-off implementation fee is charged to convert your business to our technology platform. This includes the technical payroll parameter set-up and design, year-to-date take-on from your current payroll and parallel run. DNA quotes a fixed implementation fee and therefore takes the risk of any over-runs.

What is the difference between insourcing and outsourcing payroll?

Insourcing Payroll: Managing payroll internally using in-house staff and resources. This approach offers direct control but may require significant time and expertise. In-house payroll can be riskier due to challenges with compliance, human error, data security, resource limitations, and scalability. These issues increase the likelihood of legal penalties, internal fraud, and operational inefficiencies.

Outsourcing Payroll: Delegating payroll tasks to an external provider. Payroll outsourcing offers expert handling of compliance, accurate calculations, and timely filings, reducing the risk of legal issues and financial penalties. It also enhances data security, saves time, and allows businesses to focus on core operations while benefiting from scalable, efficient payroll systems.Choosing between the two depends on your company’s size, resources, and specific needs.

Why should I consider outsourcing payroll?

Outsourcing payroll can offer several advantages:

Time Savings: Frees up internal resources to focus on core business activities.
Expertise: Access to professionals well-versed in the latest payroll regulations and best practices.
Compliance Assurance: Reduces the risk of errors and penalties associated with tax and labor laws.
Scalability: Easily adapts to business growth or changes in workforce size.

How secure is my payroll data with an outsourcing provider?

Reputable payroll providers prioritize data security, employing measures such as encryption, secure servers, and regular audits. DNA Outsourcing, for instance, adheres to stringent data protection protocols to safeguard client information. We use technology that is true cloud, with ISO 27001 certification and SOC1 & 2 reports.

Can I customize the payroll services I outsource?
