From Hourly Wage to Fully Burdened.
The Math Is Public.
Before you commit, we show you the exact math. A $50,000 salary doesn't cost $50,000. It costs significantly more once federal, state, and insurance obligations are met. We circle the hidden lines so you don't have to hunt for them.
Editorial Note:
"The fully burdened rate is rarely the advertised rate. We show you the difference upfront."

The Pricing Traps
We Don't Play.
The industry standard is a low base rate + high variable fees. We view this as obfuscation. Here is the dossier on where competitors hide profit.
The Guarantee
"The price you see is the price on your bank statement. Flat rate. No exit fees."
Pitfall 1
The 'Per Check' Fee
$2.00 per check seems small until you run weekly payroll. For a team of 5, that's $520/year in pure surcharges. MyPayroll covers unlimited runs.
Pitfall 2
Year-End Surprise
W-2/1099 processing often incurs a 'Batch Fee' in December. We include this in the monthly subscription. No holiday invoices.

Pitfall 3
Cancellation Penalties
Many contracts auto-renew annually. If you miss the window, you're locked in for another year. We are month-to-month.
Day 1: Data Import
Secure YTD transfer to maintain accurate annual reporting.
Day 2: Parallel Run
We process a test payroll in the background. You verify the numbers.
Day 3: Live Payroll
Direct deposits sent. Tax liabilities calculated and filed automatically.
The industry standard is 2 weeks. We aim for 3 days.
The Implementation Cost
Is Zero.
Switching providers feels risky. We mitigate that risk with a "Parallel Run" strategy. You see the numbers before money moves. Your data is yours; we validate it, we don't hold it hostage.
Support Protocol
Direct phone access to migration specialists during the first 30 days.
The Service Agreement.
Plain English.
Month-to-Month Terms
No annual lock-ins. Billing cycles are 30 days from start date.
Data Ownership
You own your data. Exportable to CSV/PDF at any time. We do not lock your history.
SLA: Filing Accuracy
We guarantee tax calculations based on current IRS Pub 15. If we err, we cover the penalty.
Constraints & Trade-offs
Scenario
Small Business Owner
Amarillo, TX
"It's Tuesday, 9 PM. Payroll is due tomorrow morning. I log into MyPayroll, verify the hours on the mobile interface, and hit 'Run'. By 6 AM, the direct deposit receipt is in my email. I never worry about the tax forms; they show up in the 'Audit Trail' tab by Friday. I pay $120/month flat. I used to pay $90 base plus $180 in 'per-check' and 'year-end' fees. The switch took 2 days."
