Payroll
Payroll is the part of financial administration where a mistake shows up immediately and personally: the wrong amount in the wrong account at the wrong time. That is why the timetable matters more here than anywhere else in bookkeeping.
What we handle
- Payroll for employees and owners
- Hourly, monthly and commission pay
- Travel allowances, fringe benefits and travel claims
- The payment run, or a payment file for you to approve, whichever suits
- Incomes Register filings and the employer's separate report
- Pay certificates and annual reports
Price
€30 per payslip (excl. VAT). The service packages include an annual allowance: 12 in Bronze, 24 in Silver and 36 in Gold. Anything beyond that is charged separately.
If there are more people on the payroll than the packages cover, we build a package around the real number. The full price list is here.
Associations with paid staff
An association's payroll usually brings grant allocation with it: a wage belongs to a particular project and a particular financial year.
We do both at once, so the project report comes out of the books. More on association bookkeeping.
What payroll costs, from one employee to ten
The same price worked out two ways: payroll on its own billed hourly, or inside a package that also covers the bookkeeping. Every figure comes from the price list.
Payroll on its own, billed hourly
A monthly system fee plus €30 for every payslip. Verso means material by email, Noste adds Fennoa's electronic services.
| Employees | Payslips a month | Verso, a month | Verso, per payslip | Noste, a month | Noste, per payslip |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | €45 | €45 | €70 | €70 |
| 2 | 2 | €75 | €37.50 | €100 | €50 |
| 3 | 3 | €105 | €35 | €130 | €43.33 |
| 5 | 5 | €165 | €33 | €190 | €38 |
| 10 | 10 | €315 | €31.50 | €340 | €34 |
Payroll inside a package, with the bookkeeping
The monthly package fee covers the bookkeeping and an annual number of payslips. Payslips beyond that are charged per slip.
| Package | A month | Payslips a year | Monthly-paid staff | Beyond that |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | €129 | 12 | 1 | €30 |
| Silver | €199 | 24 | 2 | €30 |
| Gold | €299 | 36 | 3 | €30 |
| Platinum | €1,290 | none included | €20 |
Monthly pay: one employee is 12 payslips a year. Fortnightly or weekly runs multiply the count. All prices excl. VAT. An employer based outside Finland pays the same rates. What changes is the onboarding, not the price: a Finnish payroll account and the Incomes Register registration have to exist before the first run.
A timetable worth putting in the calendar
Five working days before payday
Payroll details, timesheets, expense and travel claims. That is the time it takes for wages, the payment run and the filings to go out on schedule.
Changes before payday, not after
A new employee, a changed contract, a revised tax card, a new account number, a new address, attachment orders and union dues. A change of insurer is worth telling us about early too, so no late-payment charges arise.
Filings to the authorities
The Incomes Register report within five days of payment, the employer's separate report by the fifth of the following month. A holiday or a weekend moves the deadline to the next working day.
These are not our rules but the Tax Administration's, and they are the reason payroll material is asked for early.

Frequently asked
- What does payroll cost?
- €30 per payslip (excl. VAT). The service packages include an annual allowance (12 in Bronze, 24 in Silver and 36 in Gold) and anything beyond that is charged separately.
- How much does payroll cost per employee?
- €30 per payslip (excl. VAT). A monthly-paid employee is 12 payslips a year, so one employee is 12 and three are 36. Bronze covers one monthly-paid employee, Silver two and Gold three; Platinum includes none and charges €20 a payslip. The cost table on this page works it out from one employee to ten.
- Can you run Finnish payroll for a company based outside Finland?
- Yes. The obligations are the same whoever the employer is: the Incomes Register report within five days of payment, the employer's separate report by the fifth of the following month, and a Finnish payroll account. We file both and tell you what we need from you and by when. Pricing is the same €30 per payslip.
- By when does payroll material have to reach you?
- At least five working days before the payment date. Changes need the same lead time: a new tax card, a new account number, attachment orders and union dues, because a correction made afterwards is slower and more expensive than information given in advance.
- Do you handle Incomes Register filings?
- Yes. The Incomes Register report is filed within five days of payment and the employer's separate report by the fifth of the following month. If that day falls on a holiday or a weekend, the next working day is enough.
- Can you run an association's payroll?
- Yes, and it is one of our areas of specialism. If there are more people on the payroll than the packages cover, we price a package separately based on the number of payslips.
Tell us what you need, and we will work out what it actually takes.
