The arithmetic

What a ten-person team actually pays elsewhere.

Indian payroll platforms price in slabs. The entry plan bundles twenty, fifty, sometimes a hundred seats, and a small company subsidises the empty ones. Below is the same ten-person company, priced four ways.

greytHR
₹2,495/month
≈ ₹250 per employee

Entry plan bundles 50 employees into the base price. At eight people you are paying for forty-two empty seats.

RazorpayX Payroll
₹2,499/month + 18% GST
≈ ₹295 per employee

Entry plan is capped at 20 employees. No free plan and no free trial appears on their pricing page.

INDPayroll
₹0/month
₹0 per employee

Free for the first ten employees, with no expiry date. The eleventh person moves you to ₹52 per head - still with no platform fee underneath.

Start at ₹0

Figures read from each vendor's own public pricing page in August 2026 and quoted before taxes unless the vendor states otherwise. Per-employee maths assumes ten employees on the entry plan. Vendors change prices - check theirs before you decide.

What it covers

Nine things the month-end actually demands.

Salary structures

Basic, HRA, LTA, special allowance - or paste the CTC sheet you already keep.

PF with ECR export

Employee and employer split, wage ceiling applied, ECR file ready for the portal.

ESI and challans

Gross-wage threshold tracked per person, so nobody drops in or out unnoticed.

TDS, both regimes

Projected across the year, old versus new compared per employee, revised as proofs arrive.

PT for every state

Professional Tax slabs across states and union territories, maintained for you.

Form 16 and 24Q

Quarterly 24Q statements and Form 16 with Part A and Part B, generated from the same run.

Gratuity and bonus

Statutory bonus and gratuity computed at settlement rather than estimated on a napkin.

Labour Welfare Fund

State-wise LWF deducted in the months it actually applies, skipped in the months it does not.

Employee self-service

Payslips, investment proofs and tax projections, so nobody messages you asking for a PDF.

How it earns its place

Four things that change on the thirtieth of the month.

Your first payroll run happens today, not in week three.

Import a CSV, confirm one salary structure, press run. There is no implementation team to schedule, no dedicated onboarding manager and no two-to-four-week go-live - and no invoice for any of them.

PF ECR, ESI statement, quarterly Form 24Q, Form 16 with both parts. Compliance depth is not something we hold back for the expensive tier - the calculations are the product, not the upsell.

Know the true cost of a hire before you send the offer.

Each run updates gross, employer PF, gratuity accrual and projected tax per person. When a co-founder asks whether the next hire is affordable, the answer is already on a screen instead of buried in a spreadsheet tab.

The obvious worry about free payroll is that it skips the hard parts.

It is a fair worry, so here is the statutory ground the product covers, each one linked to the guide that explains what the law actually asks of you.

“Two vendors quoted us twenty-five hundred a month when we were eight people. We just wanted to pay our team and file the ECR.”

Straight answers

What small teams ask us first.

The statutory obligations do not scale with headcount - a four-person company with a registered PF code owes the same monthly ECR as a four-hundred-person one. What changes at small scale is that nobody is employed to do it, so it lands on a founder at month end. That is precisely the case the free plan exists for.

Setting up takes about as long as reading this page did.

Create the account, import the team, run August. If it is not faster than your spreadsheet, you have lost ten minutes and no money.

Ten employees. Every statutory calculation. Nothing to pay.
