Frequently asked questions

Does Paychex publish its pricing?

No. Paychex asks businesses to request a custom quote. We list it with the features it offers and never estimate a price it has not published.

Which Paychex plan do I need?

It depends on what your business requires. Multi-state payroll, contractor payments, time tracking and similar needs are only on some tiers. The calculator picks the cheapest plan that meets your requirements and tells you which requirement ruled the others out.

No dollar figures are published for any tier; the site only offers "Request Pricing" and "Get Your Free Quote". Tier descriptions ("file taxes online", "the complete... payroll and HR solution") support automatic-tax-filing on all tiers and hr-tools on Enterprise only; every other capability is unknown pending a features or compare page.
