We believe every UK business deserves proper payroll software — not a watered-down free trial that expires when you're not looking.

No credit card

No employee limit

Whether you have 1 employee or 150, you pay exactly the same: nothing. No per-seat pricing, ever.

This isn't a trial. FreePayroll is free today, free next year, and free for every payroll run after that.
