Payroll software that puts you in control

Payroll software built for control, not just speed 

Payroll rarely goes wrong because people aren’t trying hard enough. It goes wrong because data lives in five places, legislation keeps moving, and one late change can unravel a whole pay run. Built for UK organisations of 200 to 2,000 employees, Ciphr’s payroll software gives you real-time visibility of pay changes. So you’re always in control.

See how it works
Payroll control you can trust

Compliant by design, controlled by your team 

The software is HMRC-recognised and fully RTI-compliant, with legislation updates applied automatically. Tax code changes come straight from the HMRC gateway. NI category changes get flagged before they turn into a bill.

Employees get secure, anytime access to their own payslips, P60s, P45s and P11Ds. Automated backpay and holiday pay handle backdated adjustments without a manual re-run.

Integrates with HR software for greater data accuracy

 “It was really easy for people to use, it made sense to go with Ciphr as payroll links through to HR.”

Switch payroll software with confidence

Switch with two parallel runs, not a leap of faith

A payroll move typically runs around three months, including two parallel pay-run cycles where Ciphr runs alongside your existing payroll and proves the numbers match before you switch over.

We'll support you to switch anytime that suits - not just at the start of a new tax year. 

What to ask before you switch

How long does it take to go live?

Around three months, including two parallel pay runs to prove the numbers add up before cutover. 

Do we need Ciphr HR as well?

No. Payroll runs standalone, integrated with Ciphr HR, or integrated with your chosen HR software. It's up to you. 

What does it cost?

Talk to us and we’ll build a quote around your organisation's specific needs.
