African payroll

Local statutory deductions, handled per country

Running payroll across Africa is not just paying salaries. Every country has its own tax bands, pension schemes, health contributions, and statutory levies. Nigeria has PAYE and PenCom pension. Kenya has NSSF and NHIF. South Africa has UIF and SDL. Ghana has SSNIT. Multiply that across every employee in every market, and manual payroll becomes a compliance risk waiting to happen.

Most companies calculate these in spreadsheets or use international tools built for US and European markets, neither understands African tax law, and both leave you exposed.

Built forBusiness owners, HR managers, and finance teams operating in one or more African countries, running payroll manually, in spreadsheets, or with tools that don't handle local statutory deductions.
