Common questions

How much does payroll outsourcing cost in Singapore?

Per-employee rates start at $8 a month at QuickHR on its own system ($12 without it), $15 at Bestar (minimum $75 a month) and SingaporeAccounting.com (minimum 5 employees), $25 at Everyday Corporate, $30 at Excellence Singapore and $60 at 3E Accounting before GST. Sleek charges $300 per employee a year. For small teams, Leftright Corporate charges $75 a month for up to 2 employees and $135 for 3 to 5, and Raffles Corporate Services charges $150 a month for the first 5 employees on fixed salaries. Ask what the rate covers, since setup and year-end filings are often extra.

Is IR8A filing included in the monthly payroll fee?

It depends on the provider. Sleek includes IR8A filing through AIS and IR21 in its $300 per employee yearly price, and Leftright Corporate includes annual IR8A and AIS reporting in its monthly fee. Raffles Corporate Services and 3E Accounting charge from $150 per employee for IR8A, Everyday Corporate charges about $100 a year, and Excellence Singapore quotes IR8A per employee. Ask for the year-end price before you sign.

What does IR21 tax clearance cost?

Raffles Corporate Services and 3E Accounting charge from $250 per employee to prepare IR21. Sleek includes IR21 in its yearly per-employee price, and Excellence Singapore quotes it per employee. QuickHR, Bestar, InCorp, Sandhurst and Info-Tech Systems also handle IR21. It applies when a foreign employee leaves, so tell your provider about resignations early.

Are there setup fees for outsourced payroll?

Leftright Corporate charges no setup fee. Raffles Corporate Services charges from $100 for payroll setup, $100 for a CPF account application and $300 for bank GIRO setup. 3E Accounting charges from $150 for setup, $200 for a CPF account application and $300 for GIRO setup, before GST. Everyday Corporate charges $400 one time to move you onto a new HR system, and PayrollServe waives its implementation fee if you switch from another provider.

Do payroll outsourcing providers handle leave and claims?

Many do, but not always inside the base fee. Leftright Corporate tracks leave and MC balances in its monthly fee, Sleek manages leave on Talenox synced to payroll, and SingaporeAccounting.com runs a leave system linked to payroll. Bestar and InCorp give employees self-service portals for leave and claims. Everyday Corporate and Excellence Singapore price leave and claims modules separately, and PayrollServe sells managed leave and managed claims as separate services.

When do payroll providers need your data each month?

Leftright Corporate needs payroll changes at least five working days before your salary payment date. Raffles Corporate Services, Talenox and Sandhurst submit CPF before the 14th of the following month. Ask each provider for its own cut-off so late joiners, overtime and claims make it into the run.

How long does it take to switch payroll providers?

Talenox says most companies are running within 2 to 3 weeks, with no lock-in period. Sleek runs a parallel check before the first live pay run, Sandhurst can take over mid-year and reconcile the year-to-date figures, and PayrollServe waives its implementation fee for companies switching over.
