UK Payroll Software Built for PAYE, NI and RTI
Run compliant UK payroll without the manual tax-table lookups. Hirepay calculates PAYE and National Insurance automatically and keeps your RTI submissions on schedule.
PAYE income tax, calculated automatically
For the 2026/27 tax year, the standard Personal Allowance is £12,570. Income above that is taxed at 20% up to £50,270, 40% up to £125,140, and 45% above that. Hirepay applies the correct band to every payslip automatically, including the personal allowance taper for employees earning above £100,000.
National Insurance, both sides handled
Employees pay 8% National Insurance on earnings between the Primary Threshold (£242/week) and the Upper Earnings Limit (£967/week), and 2% above that. Employers pay 15% on earnings above the Secondary Threshold (£96/week). Hirepay calculates both employee and employer contributions on every pay run.
RTI submissions to HMRC, on time
Real Time Information (RTI) requires reporting pay and deductions to HMRC on or before each payday. Hirepay generates the Full Payment Submission (FPS) data your payroll needs to stay compliant, every pay run.
Auto-enrolment pensions
UK employers must automatically enrol eligible staff into a workplace pension and contribute towards it under the Pensions Act 2008. Hirepay tracks eligibility and contribution schedules alongside payroll so pension duties are never missed.
