Seven questions, about a minute. We turn the 2.5% claim from the payroll guide into a specific monetary figure for your operation, then break that figure down into the three places it leaks from. No pricing, no quote, no follow-up unless you ask.
Your answers are not stored on our servers until you choose to send them. Refreshing or sharing the URL preserves your answers locally, so you can come back to the figure later or send it to a colleague.

Annual gross payroll
A rough figure is fine. We use this as the base for the calculation, not as anything you commit to.
Employees on payroll
Headcount, not full-time-equivalent. Include part-timers and zero-hours staff.
Staff mix
Hourly-paid staff (clock in/out) drive most payroll leakage. Salaried staff don't, so we apply the leak coefficient to the hourly portion only.
Current timesheet capture
Pick the closest match - we'll handle the variation.
Payroll admin hours per week
Across everyone involved, including managers approving timesheets and finance reconciling errors.
Recent compliance events
Pick all that apply. This stays between you and us.
Sector
We use this to surface the most relevant context with your result.
Report on its way
Check your email for the full breakdown and sector context. We have also flagged your figure to the team so we can answer follow-up questions if you want a conversation.
