Except that according to your web site it doesn't handle contracted-out NI
yet. Bit of an oversight there I would have thought....
Just to mention in passing that, following a recent conversation in this
group, I'm mulling over writing a tax and NI calculator as a Java applet -
stick it on the web, see how many people go out of business....

Before you buy.
Because once you have a competent in-house employee organised with
some software and paperwork, they can normally do a fair few in an
hour: much cheaper. (You'd charge around L2 regardless of whether they
were paid weekly or monthly? 'per month' is a lot less common than
'per payslip'. What about BACS payment, etc.?)

Checking my pay this month, the tax is £0.09 higher than our system at work
which I know is 100% accurate. The contracted-out NI is £3.86 too much and I
can't help wondering if that is something to do with the employee's rebate.
Maybe someone else in this group would like to check that I'm not going mad.
And of course the cumulative tax is only "coming soon" and it doesn't
provide all the detail required for NI, which at least includes the
employers amount and the rebates. Not much good for an employer wanting to
calculate an employee's pay then.
Oh, and before I forget, the calculator asks for "gross salary". Tax and NI
are not necessarily calculated on gross pay, for example if you are in a
contracted-out pension scheme, or have any kind of expenses reimbursed.
Somebody in any of these situations using this site will see that the
figures disagree with their payslip and quite possibly ring their payroll
section asking why and someone, like me, will have to explain to them that
you can't believe everything you see on the internet! Cheers.
Ok, small employers, fair enough. But I do think that seeing as you've gone
to all this effort you may as well go all the way, it's not that hard to
write a program to do contracted-out NI, it's doing PAYE right that is the
real sod. If anyone reading this doesn't know, the book explaining the
calculation routines for PAYE produced by the IR is, IIRC, around 35 A4
pages long.

Wow, what a memory. Did I really say that? I wrote a Javascript one last
year that did NI (A, B, C, D, E) and tax, although at the time the IR
weren't issuing guidance on how to work PAYE out (yes, really) and it was a
little out on the rounding side. But that was at work, if I do a Java one
then that would be at home so I can do with it as I please. The javascript
language math library is slightly less than perfect I found, if anyone is
remotely interested. I've got a payroll diploma assignment to hand in the
first week in May and a website to run, but I may look at it next month just
to prove the point I guess...

Must 'fess-up though - we have a minimum charge of Ł12 per run ( i.e.
minimum applies up to 6 employees).
I would still argue, and happy clients prove it, that those running a small
business should outsource as many non-core functions as they possibly can.

Wow - all told, we charge around a quid per payslip, depending on
specifics. Are we that under the going rate?
