For five employees, the cost is $49 + (4 × $2.50) = $59 per payroll. This example includes 26 biweekly payrolls at $59 ($1,534) and year-end fees of $75 plus $7.50 for each of five W-2s ($112.50), totaling $1,646.50 annually. The $137.21 monthly average is rounded and is not a flat monthly billing rate. Optional QuickBooks Online integration is not included and adds $20 per month if selected. Assumes one state and five W-2s. Additional services, accounting subscriptions, and applicable taxes are excluded. Paychex pricing depends on your quote, package, and offer terms.
