Simple, transparent payroll pricing for small businesses.

Sound Payroll offers straightforward base pricing by pay frequency, with core payroll essentials already included. This helps businesses quickly see what is covered, understand what may affect total cost, and choose the support level that fits your business.

Clear payroll pricing with the essentials already built in.

Plans start at

  • $67 per payroll for weekly, bi-weekly, and semi-monthly payrolls, and
  • $82 per payroll for monthly payrolls

No surprises. Just clear payroll support.

We believe pricing should be easy to understand. Our base pricing covers the services most small businesses need every payroll, while additional charges apply only when specific services are added, such as new hire reporting, garnishment support, printed W-2s, timeclock tools, or extra tax filing needs.

Easy onboarding for new clients.

New client setup is $325 for up to 25 employees, with a per-employee fee for additional team members. This helps us configure payroll correctly from the start so the business can transition smoothly.
