RTI payroll software: free options

you get what you pay for , if its NIL dont expect a top of the range product , please support small software house by paying for their software.

...could more than make up for any payment I might make to a small software house.

HMRC system is great in my view because it's all clear, if basic. Simple payslips we already have to do and fortunately we don't often need to produce P45s

RTI, with it's "ON OR BEFORE payment" stipulation for the full payment statement, is not something to mess about at, esp once penalties begin. (2014?)

Brightpay offer free payroll software for up to 3 employees. It is the full version of the product and the free helpline is included. An unlimited employees license is also available free to charities. So sometimes you can get something for nothing and in this case it is an excellent product from a company with a social conscience.

I have used this software house for many years now, about 10 I think, they are a delight to work with. 

I recommended Brightpay to a friend who has a medium sized practice and he has now moved all his clients over to them and operates the software in house as well.

I have recently compiled a P45 on Basic PAYE Tools and submitted Page 1 online to HMRC as required. Then printed the further 3-pages required to give to the employee. It is a standard function of the program. No problem.

I have been using 12 pay since i went solo in 2008

I think it's brilliant - very intuitive and built from the ground up in modern technology

You have to upgrade to get P35's but even then it's only £35 or so.

I'm sure they'll be ahead of the game for RTI - it's right up their street!

I work for Clear Books, a cloud based accountancy company. Our Open Payroll app will be RTI ready for £5 + VAT per month for up to 2 employees, then £2.50 + VAT for each extra employee thereafter. Check out http://www.clearbooks.co.uk/2012/10/24/real-time-information-rti-on-open-payroll/

I've in the past pointed people to reasonably priced software since the HMRC tools don't do payslips and so on. Knowing there are some free products for micro businesses is very helpful.

Thanks for the article

I work for Adminsoft which develops the free accounts package Adminsoft Accounts.

This contains a payroll, which will be RTI compliant by February.  It's totally free, and has NO restriction on the number of employees!

Hopefully it'll be listed on HMRC's web site shortly.

I'm the Finance Director for a non-league football club.  We have one full-time employee, but if you add all the players we might pay over the year plus the part-time bar staff, that number rises to anything between 30 & 45 employees.

Can anyone suggest the most appropriate (balancing functionality, usability & cost) RTI software for us?

Thanks
