I'm a bookkeeper, but also I also have my own separate business with employees for which use instant payroll which costs about £110 per year. Was just looking at the moneysoft payroll manager 100 program which allows me to have unlimited companies for £110 plus vat. I think its a no brainer
I'm after a good cheap payroll program (free if possible) that I could use for one of my (new) customers.
They have given me a file from the previous bookkeeper who used Sage 50 payroll version 17, which I can't afford.
Does anyone also know how I could get the information from the file to allow me to input the employee data etc into a new program?
Thanks
Peter
You need the print out of the P11s for PAYE and NI and the P32s to date wouldn't go amiss. From these you can input the information into whichever payroll program you choose to use.
I use Sage at a couple of clients (their software) 12 Pay at one and HMRC disc at another.

Would agree, Moneysoft Payroll Manager is fantastic. 12 Pay is the other package that regularly gets mentioned on here, although I've not used it.
With Moneysoft, there is the function to import from Sage payroll - you save from Sage as a CSV file, then in Moneysoft click tools, import data, and you can import employer and employee details. I think it's just static data, not sure about actual pay data, it's been a while since I used it. However, given how easy it is to enter data, it shouldn't take too long. When we take over a payroll client mid year, we usually reenter the previous month's payroll, doesn't take too long.
Have gone for the Moneysoft Payroll Manager and am starting the year mid-way (tools, mid way start)
I have the P11 details of employees and just need someone to confirm the following
Employee Nic is table 1f Employer Nic is table 1f minus 1e Earnings up to LEL is table 1a Earnings LEL to PT is table 1b Earnings PT to UOP is table 1c Earnings UAP to UEL is table 1d
That certainly sounds correct. For directors you should also enter the total earnings somewhere (but I can't suggest how you would do that in Moneysoft)
Our payroll software is compatible with every type of industry unlike other payroll applications.
That does actually sound like most other payroll applications. (12pay, moneysoft payroll etc.).
Can you further substantiate your differentiation claim which I am sure that Tom will be looking to refute later.
kind regards,
Shaun.
P.S. Note also that simply posting to advertise products breaches foum rules. (See the home page for full details).
I will review this thread and determine what action (if any) needs to be taken when I get back from the office later.

Our payroll software is compatible with every type of industry unlike other payroll applications. It is multi-user, multi-company application and can maintain records of around 500 employees at a time. Its advance features make it easy for administrators to set user level permissions and access rights and maintain a complete audit trails.
If you find with the keyword "payroll software reviews", you would find hundreds of review pages in Google, you should go through few top listings to read reviews first, so that you would be aware of features, prices of payroll software. I have written a review page based on top 10 accounting software usemyreviews.com / payroll-software-reviews / I think this would also be very helpful in terms of learning features of payroll software.

The link is for the wrong side of the pond I'm afraid but it did prompt me to look at Amazon over there which is a real eye opener as to Sage pricing state side.
Boy, things are cheap in the colonies! Makes one realise what cash cows we in the UK are when you look at the comparative pricing structures.
That said I assume that their Sage 50 must be our Sage instant.
At least Intuit products are similarly priced on both sides of the pond.
Fingers crossed more people will start adopting QB or other products here which will force Sage to lower their prices down to at least a Western hemisphere level playing field on pricing.

Looking at the price, I thought the same - then I looked at the two screen grabs in the product description. It looks like it's neither our Line 50 nor our Instant, though looking at Sage's Overpuddlian site, Pro is the cheapest version in their Sage 50 line over there.
