What does payroll cost for a small business in Canada

Priced per run and per employee, so it scales honestly

Payroll setup starts at $250 and monthly payroll at $150 per month, with each additional employee from $25 per month. That structure means a business with three staff is not quoted the same as one with thirty.

The slips are separate and published too. T4 or T4A preparation starts at $100 plus $25 per additional employee. A T5 is from $150 per slip, a T5018 from $150 per slip, and a record of employment from $50. Source deductions are remitted on schedule, which matters because payroll is money held in trust and the CRA examines it more closely than most owners expect.
