Why small business owners are switching to PaySauce

People first, always

From our onboarding team to daily support, real people are here to help. We pick up the phone, we get things sorted. That is just how we work.

Super sorted, every payrun.

Super is due every pay run from 1 July 2026. PaySauce calculates and pays it automatically, keeping you compliant from day one.

Audit-ready records

Payroll, super, PAYG and STP reporting all in one place. Clean, clear records ready whenever your accountant needs them.

Payroller way vs the PaySauce way.

Same job, very different pay day experiences. Here's the difference.

PAYDAY SUPER IS LIVE

The rules changed on 1 July. A lot of free plans didn't.

From July 1 2026, super has to go out with every pay run inside seven business days. It's a good change for your team. It's also the moment a lot of business owners discovered their free payroll plan couldn't do super at all. If your being moved onto a paid plan anyway, its a fair time to ask what you're getting for it.
PaySauce is built for the seven day window. Super is calculated and sent as part of the pay run, every time, with a record you can point at. 

  • Super calculated and paid inside every pay run
  • Wages, PAYG, super and STP all lodged together
  • A full audit trail, so you can see exactly what went and when

Yes, we cost more. Here's why.

Let's talk about the price.

We're not the cheapest payroll in Australia and we've never tried to be. For a two person business we're about $30 a month more than the cheapest plan on the market. So its fair to talk about what that buys.

It buys a person who answers when you call for help. Super that goes out correctly every pay run. Time sheets that aren't a separate line on the invoice. And a bill that doesn't increase unless your team does. 

One underpayment, one STP correction, one afternoon lost to a pay run that didn't lodge, and you're past the difference for the whole year. That's the maths we'd want you to do.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about pricing, setup and support.

Is PaySauce more expensive that Payroller?

For a small team, yes. We're $50/month with your first team member included, then $5 after. What you get is the difference in support from real people, timesheets without an add-on fee, and super handled accurately every pay run. If you're paying 15 employees the two cost around the same.

Can I switch mid financial year or mid quarter?

Yes, and plenty of people do. We check your year-to-date figures against ATO as part of setting you up, so nothing goes missing at EOFY.

What happens to my STP history when I switch payroll?

It stays with the ATO where it belongs. We pick up your year-to-date figures so your reporting continues cleanly from your first PaySauce pay run.

How long does switching take?

We can do it in under 30 minutes if you have all of your info ready to go. Our onboarding team does the setup, and it's free.

Do you handle Payday Super?

Yes. Super is calculated and paid as part of every pay run, inside the seven business day window. It was built that way from the start rather than added later.

Do you handle award rates?

We've got the Pastoral, Hospitality and Retail Awards built in, plus salaried staff. If you're on a different award, talk to us and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.

Does PaySauce connect to Xero?

Yes, directly. Connect once and your books stay in sync after every pay run.

What if it's not right for us?

You've got 90 days to get your money back in full, and no lock-in contract at any point. Cancel whenever you like.
