Payroll calculator

What weekly payroll costs — and how to move to monthly without losing your team.

Fewer pay runs means less payroll processing. Enter your own figures to estimate the difference — then see how earned-wage access lets you switch to monthly and keep your team on side.

Your figures

Assumptions: a monthly schedule is 12 pay runs a year; your cost per run is held constant; only the number of pay runs changes. We compare processing cost only.

Why we don't estimate NI savings. National Insurance depends on each worker's earnings pattern, your payroll scheme and other factors we can't see here, so an NI figure would be a guess. This tool estimates processing cost only — there is no NI field and no NI output.

The honest trade-off

Moving to monthly is harder on the people who feel it most

Fewer pay runs save processing — but a longer gap between paydays is toughest for lower-paid, weekly-paid staff. Weekly pay among low-paid workers has fallen sharply over two decades — from roughly 44% to about 17% — with around 744,000 workers moved off weekly pay.

Earned-wage access bridges that gap. Your team can draw their already-earned pay between paydays — free, funded by you, up to a cap you set claim — legal-gated — so you can move to monthly payroll and keep your people on side.
