SIMPLE PAYROLL FOR SELF-EMPLOYED

All your freelance payroll needs in one platform

When you’re self-employed, you want to focus on growing business but also meet your legal obligations.  Our payroll system is the easiest solution for freelancers to comply with single touch payroll (STP) laws.  As a freelancer, you can make pay runs, make superannuation payments and generate payslips in minutes. 

Don’t waste time with manual wage calculations.  Pay rates, allowances and deductions can be set up.  Wage and super calculations are automated with just a few clicks.  This makes Payroller ideal for freelancers to process payroll quickly for one or two employees. 

It’s easy to add more staff to your payroll as your freelance business scales up.

If you are a small business and with one employee, this software is fabulous. All you need, on your phone, access from any computer. Calculates everything for you. Can’t say enough good things about it.

Really simple to use for a small business such as mine and with just enough features on the plan I have for my needs. Been on it since STP took off a couple of years ago and highly recommend it.

Frequently asked questions about payroll software for freelancers

While the Payroller mobile app is completely free – fees will apply to use the Payroller web app, Xero integration, and to make super contributions through our integrated super clearing house (Beam).

Freelancers have a different tax situation compared to traditional employees. Unlike employees who have taxes withheld from their paycheck, freelancers are responsible for paying estimated taxes throughout the year. This helps avoid a large tax bill at the end of the year. They also need to calculate and pay for self-employment tax, which covers Social Security and Medicare taxes.

Freelancers can deduct many ordinary and necessary business expenses from their taxable income. This can include things like office supplies, equipment, software subscriptions, and travel related to their work.

While not essential, payroll software designed for freelancers can simplify the process. These tools can help track income and expenses, generate invoices, and even automate estimated tax payments. This can save freelancers time and ensure they’re on track with their tax obligations.

Whether a freelancer should use payroll software depends on their individual needs and workload. Payroll software can be a valuable tool for freelancers who want to automate calculations and tax tasks, improve organisation, and gain peace of mind. 

Yes. For freelancers, managing international clients doesn’t affect how you record income. You can simply record payments you receive, regardless of the client’s location.

Payroll software features for freelancers are designed to help with record-keeping and keeping your business’s financial health in clear view. Some features include income and expense tracking, tax assistance, and timesheet tracking to monitor time spent on different projects.

Payroller is an STP-enabled software that automatically submits payroll information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) – through a secure cloud network – whenever you perform a payrun. Payroller helps you to track, manage and record your payroll while safely sharing that information (and staying compliant) with the ATO.

As a truly one-stop payroll solution, you can manage staff roster, invite your accountant, bookkeeper or BAS agent and even make Super contribution (Beam) on Payroller.
